    Notebook it is NOT!

    It is no notebook! Wow, completely predictable and it just pain drags. Just didn?t do it for me or my girlfriend (we went on Valentine?s Day).

    Date Night

    by turpy

    My wife wanted to go on a date, it was not bad, just a little slow, took awhile to get to the plot, feel like I sat there waiting for a little too long... but im sure that is just my male mind as my wife loved it!

    Not a true chick flick

    I went to the movie with my wife, already prepared not to enjoy it. I really liked the movie. The acting was believable and the story was good. It's even better if you have not read the book and heard much about it. There are a lot of twists and surprises. I thought that Julianne Hough was very good and the little girl was fantastic. Guys if your girl or wife wants to see this movie, go, you will enjoy it.

    Safe Haven

    I would have been just as happy to save some money by waiting to see this when it came out on netflix. It was a cut little movie...but nothing I "had" to see on the big screen.

    Safe Haven's feel good formula.

    by jganem3

    The movie is proof that Hollywood doesn't always have to resort to violence or special-effects to entertain us. This was a thoroughly delightful movie in that it had a pretty girl, a suspenseful plot, lighthearted moments, and a backstory well hidden until the end. My wife and I are avid movie goers but we rarely go out during the week. This movie was perfect for Valentine's Day. I knew the first time that I saw Julianna Hough on dancing with the stars that there would be many more opportunities. This movie gave her a great story to demonstrate her acting skills. Safe Havens will likely be on the Academy radar, but it's a good movie, a twisting plot, fine acting and well worth seeing.

    Loved it

    by kpb13

    I had no idea that Julianne Hough was such a great actress. There was lots of chemistry here, and the buildup was great. I loved the movie. Will probably watch it again when it comes out on video.

    Nice Date Movie

    This is typical Nicholas Sparks. By that, I mean we liked it. It may be a little sappy for some macho types, but my husband really liked it and he wanted to see an action movie. We settled on this one because of the showing time and were glad we did. It's a feel good movie and we were both moved by the "spiritual twist" that came at the end. I loved it, as did he. The actors were perfect for their roles.

    SHOCKINGLY BAD

    by

    Not only does this movie barely crawl but its ending insults your intelligence. To say that it comes out of context and is rediculous is being very, very kind.

    Nice Movie

    I took my wife to go see this movie. I was not expecting much but it turned out to be a very nice movie. One of the best endings to a movie that I have seen in a long time.

    Safe Haven

    by maryebw

    I took my granddaughter to see this film and we both felt it was a very touching intertaining movie. What a surprise at the end. It showed what can happen in ones life and we felt it was proven any one can go on with life no matter what happens to ones life. All in all it was very intertaining for all ages. I'm 62 and my grandaughter is 18.

    Excellent Nicolas Sparks Story!!

    Another excellent movie from a Nicholas Sparks book. I really liked the actors/actresses in this movie. Great suspense and thrills and feel good scenes of an abused woman who meets a single widower and his kids. It gives the great life lessons that life goes on and there are good people out there among the tyrants who try to control everything. Definitely a go see movie!! It's another great example of how good a story teller Nicholas Sparks can be.

    Safe Haven

    Great movie. Did not exactly follow the book, but the main story held true. There was definitely good chemistry with Julianne and Josh.I was not disappointed.

    Great Feel-Good Movie

    I loved this film. My husband, who enjoyed the book-on-cd, said one of the drawbacks was we weren't shown how psychotic the cop really was. Loved the plot twists and the ending was incredible! I don't know what movie the critics were watching, but I will see this again on DVD.

    Similar to the book

    I do love reading books that have become movies just to see the difference..this one was very close to the book. There were a few minor differences but otherwise absolutely follwed the Nickolas Sparks novel :)

    More than just a "chick-flick"

    Yes it's a love story that will require a quick dab with a kleenex. It's also a bit of a suspense drama that unfolds a little unexpectedly. Then there's the ending which is exciting, and it all gets tied up with a neat little bow at the very end. Definitely worth your time and money to go see.
