Re: "Message in a Bottle"

Romantic comedies are hard to do right. You always know the outcome of the plot, so what makes a romantic comedy good is what happens along the way. You knew Harry and Sally would get married. The beauty of that film was the trip you took to get there.

While watching this film I wanted to get out of the car before we got out of the subdivision. The trip itself left little to the imagination. No suprises. Nothing unique. Nothing particularly fun. Costner is who he is, generally introverted. Which was fine for this role, because that is his character. But the plot plods along a predetermined course, without any fun.
