    This movie ways way too overrated. It started and progressed well for about an hour with somewhat decent dramatic romance. However, after that, it gets old really quickly. Both the plot and acting of Kevin Costner and whoever the actress is were very shallow and boring. Plus a stupid ending, this movie deserves 1 star and will go straight to my list of "Don't Watch These Movies...Please"

    The letters are lovely and very poetic. Every woman who happens to read that would fall in love. It was boring., The letters and thoughts made it beautiful., It is not the best film based on Nicholas Sparks movie.

    it's an amazing movie!romantic,touching,full of emotions,showing the real hardship that relationships may have and how one person can create a whole world.living in it(maybe because he is afraid of the reality)or because getting hurt is really tough..sometimes!actually,i have seen this movie ...i don't remember how many times..and everything that is said in this movie represents the real life and things that all of us have inside ourselves almost but cannot express them!of course the movie is also based on lost love stories and show how much a loss can affect your whole life!i wholeheartedly recommend everyone to watch it!!!

    Realmente se não fôsse a minha grande amiga a dizer-me, eu não ia lembrar o nome deste filme, mas vá lá agora já sei! Pois o título do filme em português é "As palavras que nunca te direi". Um filme que gostei muito de ver, mas que não tem um final côr-de-rosa, bem pleo contrário tem um final triste...embora o amor vença mesmo apeasr do desfecho final.

    My man Kevin Costner was excellent in this movie. I just love looking at him.
    Nicholas Sparks wrote the book that this movie came from. He is a wonderful writer. The book is always better.

    A wonderful sappy chick flick. I will even ignore the fact that I hate Kevin Costner as an actor for this one.

    Every Nicolas Sparks novel that has been made into a movie has been swarmy. There is no chemistry between Costner and Wright-Penn. It was actually painful to watch.

    Haven't you ever saw a bottle floating in the ocean and hoped for a message inside. This movie is about a mans hope for finding true love.

    This movie is good until the last 20 minutes. I think it was a pointless and a dumb ending. The movie has great actors though.

    If it wasn't for the ending, I would give this movie a 2.5 stars. There was no magic in me when I was watching the movie. It seems to me like it was only a plain movie. No high and down.

    A corny tearjerker love story that is so much better than it deserves to be because of the performances especially by Paul Newman who gives a dynamic honest supporting performance. The ending is horrendous because of how cliched and manipulative it is.

    It was okay, failrly decent romantic movie. If, as they say, you're in a certain mood, Message in a Bottle can be just the ticket. Based on Nicholas Sparks's bestselling novel, this handsome but overly calculated romance tale stars Robin Wright Penn as Theresa, a Chicago Tribune researcher who finds a note encased in a green bottle that has floated onto a Cape Cod shore. The message within is a heartfelt, yearning declaration of love to a woman named Catherine, but the author is unknown until Theresa tracks him down in North Carolina. He's Garret Blake, a taciturn builder of sailboats and a grieving widower whose late wife, poetically speaking, was the intended recipient of the seafaring note Theresa found. Theresa, a divorcée with a son, decides to meet Garret, only to find him as bottled-up as his message. Nevertheless, a romance blooms on the strength of quality time in a sailboat and lots of cuddling, though the script tosses in bits of conflict to keep their relationship spicy.
