Message in a Bottle

Message in a Bottle is an overlong romantic melodrama, which seems to exist for one purpose only: to make you cry your eyes out. This is a tearjerker if I ever saw one.
   Theresa Osborne is a journalist at the Chicago Tribune. On a walk by the sea she finds a bottle, the content of which is a romantic and moving love letter. After she has showed it to the people at work, her boss prints the letter. It turns out that other botttles containing similar messages to a woman named Catherine have been found.
   After a thorough search Theresa finds the author of the letters. His name is Garret Blake. Theresa travels to the small coastal where he lives. She fell in love with his letters, and now inevitably she falls in love with the man. Unfortunately, he cannot get over the death of his wife Catherine two years back. She was and still is the love of his life.
