Review

After the lambasting both Waterworld and The Postman took, you'd think Costner wouldn't go near water or have anything to do with the mail for awhile. But he's right back on the horse with this glossy, muddled romantic drama which isn't quite as bad as it could have been. Chicago reporter Wright Penn finds a love letter in a bottle and is intrigued to the point that she tries to track down its author. It turns out to be North Carolina widower and boatmaker Costner. She heads there and promptly falls in love. The premise doesn't quite add up, but the cast seems not to care as they attack this with sincerity. To no one's surprise, Newman comes off best as Kevin's cantankerous father. As romantic drama, most of this works; but as credible storytelling, it doesn't hit the right notes.
