"Message in a Bottle"

I watched this last night. Widowed boat builder and repairman
Kevin Costner puts a message to his dead wife in a bottle off the Carolina coast and beautiful newspaper column researcher Robin Wright Penn finds it while on holiday on Cape Cod. The whole movie was actually shot in Maine and looks it.

Anyway, she returns home to Chicago and does research on the bottle and the paper and typewriter and tracks Costner down. He lives in a coastal cottage with his father, Paul Newman. He is still fighting with his in laws over the dead woman's paintings, which he refuses to give them. Naturally Costner and Wright fall in love and he travels to Chicago to see her and meet her son (she's divorced). They break up when he finds out the reason she came to meet him and then get back together later. Then a tragedy occurs. So so, marred by Costner's customary wooden acting. Beautifull cinematography, however.
