Review of Message in a Bottle (1999) by Mega M — 30 Sep 2008
An ironic adult story of love and mourning. This movie is a bit slow, has some nice romance, bordering on sappiness, some solid acting performances, and a hokey ending. For all those who go to see this film expecting to find a wonderfully romantic time at the movies, well, you might be quite disappointed.
This movie does have some tender moments, along with some romantic touches, but over and above it all, it caters to a story line drenched in the incapacity of a man to move on with his life, after his loved one has passed away.
This film might even be a success in the hearts and minds of all those people whose lives have suddenly halted after the loss of someone dear to their hearts. Don't get me wrong, there is an obvious love story that brews up between the two leads here, it's just that I didn't expect the grieving undertones of the film to be as accentuated as they are.
