    Great ending

    by seal8280

    Knowing the type of books written by Nicholas Sparks, and having seen a lot of his movies, they usually leave me sad at the end with an exception or two. Nevertheless, I saw this movie and liked it for the most part, but the best part was the ending which I found very touching and which made the whole movie a plus for me.

    Good date movie. Both men and women will enjoy it

    by

    A nice romantic movie with a bit of drama and suspense. Blended families with adolescents in the house may find this to be a good movie to see and then discuss certain intricacies as well. Overall, my wife and I enjoyed this movie quite a bit and recommend it for all viewers.

    BEST MOVIE EVER WATCHED

    by claire.janssen

    OMG!!
    I'm in LOVE with this movie! BEST ONE I'VE EVER SEEN!
    I like how there is romance between Alex and Katie and I like how Katie barely knows Alex, Lexi and Josh in the beginning but still is nice to them and helps them. Like when Josh falls into the ocean, she helps Alex by taking care of Lexi. *SPOILER ALERT!* sorry...
    LOVE ITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Good movie!

    by

    It's not the notebook, but nicholas sparks has a great storyline to this one! Tha actors did a great job. the ending could've been better but i can say that about plenty of movies. For a chick flick i really enjoyed watching this. Reminds me of movies on LMN. Overall i liked it!

    Terrible.

    by manthafore

    From the acting to the plot, this movie was terrible. I read the book a day prior to seeing the movie. The book was amazing. Seeing the movie, makes me really wonder what happened. There was no chemistry in the 2 main characters. The directing was horrible. The movie did not stick to the plot of the book. The only thing they took from the book was a couple of names, the location, and the plot. They left out 3/4ths of the movies. And to be honest, if you were in a abusive relationship with a man for around 5 years, would you just go up to a guy and start dating and let down your gaurd in just 3 weeks. In the book it took her around 7 months!! I can honestly say that after reading the book, I was very excited to see the movie. And after seeing the movie, I can truly say that I am very disappointed.

    Very Romantic and Thrilling

    by pedsarq

    Hough plays a woman on the run from her past. Just when her life is darkest, she finds love in a small town with a broken widower who lost his wife to cancer. It sounds like a tear jerker, but for the most part this is just about as a romantic a setup and movie as I've seen in a long time. Just the right amount of tension and plot twists keep it humming. There's a whopper of a surprise ending, which adds to the thrills.

    BORING

    by

    If you have seen one Sparks movie, youv'e seen them all. Guess who die mid way though it and who would die. After the movie was over the girls in front of me said " was that it"? They were also dissapointed.

    Not for me

    by Tonymanx

    Did I like the movie? No! I wanted to leave after 30 mins. BUT I saw others really enjoying it so I am saying it was not a movie for me. I do not have to have action and thrills but this movie was just so sugary and girlie to such a degree that it appeared false and unreal. I can enjoy a good romance movie but this was estrogenized to the Nth degree. It does have a surprising good ending.

    Safe haven

    by bsktblfmly

    This movie was so good. It has something for everyone. There was a murder/mystery going on, a secret past, a budding romance, some heart break and dealing with loss all tangled in to a beautiful story that takes place in a sweet beautiful quiet town with a surprise near the end. My daughter and I loved it. Would see it again!

    Excellent Nicolas Sparks Story!!

    by Baronhawk

    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.

    Boring, poor acting, too long

    by thain66

    I feel that between a badly written script, bad acting (except for the little girl who plays the daughter), and the need to stretch this out made for a horrible combination.

    Yes,but then again....

    by ezymeat

    I took my wife to see Safe Haven and was the only man in the cinema. I whispered to her "this'll cost you Die Hard next week!!"
    I have to admit, however, that this was a most enjoyable movie and I give it two thumbs up.
    Unfortunately the ridiculous character 'twist' right at the end did detract from what was a really solid film - it was just so unnecessary and far-fetched........the movie needed it like a hole in the head.
    Anyway, that notwithstanding I'd still recommend it.

    More than just a "chick-flick"

    by mooVsR4me

    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.
