Skip it. Despite the romantic premise, the critics have spoken loud and clear—this one's a soggy mess that fails to make waves. If you're craving a Nicholas Sparks adaptation, find literally any other one.
Plot
A woman finds a romantic letter in a bottle washed ashore and tracks down the author, a widowed shipbuilder whose wife died tragically early. As a deep and mutual attraction blossoms, the man struggles to make peace with his past so that he can move on and find happiness.
Director: Luis Mandoki
Cast: Kevin Costner, Robin Wright, Paul Newman, John Savage, Illeana Douglas
