    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.

    Loved Safe Haven

    by TwiNana

    Safe Haven is an excellent movie. The scenery is beautiful, the story is romantic, suspenseful and surprising. I had read the book but it was a couple of years ago so even I was surprised because I had forgotten a the surprise at the end. Loved both Josh & Julianne - wonderful performances. If you like a movie that is romantic, funny at times, a little tearjeaky but with drama and surprise, you will love this movie.

    Good Movie

    by DSmith205

    Went on Valentine's Day with my hubby, have to say I enjoyed more than him. Kind of slow in parts, but several unexpected twists. Overall a typical Nicholas Sparks movie.

    Are we kidding ourselves?

    by

    The cover shows more passion in one glance then the entire movie showed. This was possibly one of the worst Nicholas Sparks movies. It did not follow the book or follow any set of cinematic timeline. It was slow and the only good thing about it was a shirtless Josh. Character development was not there. I felt no remorse toward Julianne's character, nor toward why I should care about Josh's past. He didn't seem THAT sad about it. It was more of a thriller than an actual romantic movie that Nicholas Sparks is known for. There was one thing I loved about this movie, which I love about all of Nicholas Sparks' movies, the setting. The Carolina's are truly a sight...unlike this movie, which I wish I could take back ever seeing it.

    Safe Haven -- Fantastic

    by droesch54

    This is the best movie we have seen in a very long time. The scenery was absolutely breath-taking, the script was well written, the actors and actresses were great. I am recommending that ALL my friends go see this movie. The ending came totally unexpected.

    Similar to the book

    by TheGFam12

    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 :)

    Engaging Love Story

    by MOTORCYCLISTENGINEER

    An excellent love story. Plot was good, althougth there were some flaws in the story, but they didn't take away from its warmth or sweetness. Only other downside is that the movie slightly dragge, but it was nice enough to overshadow that detail.

    There was one sexy bedroom scene, with the actors back and sides, and a small amount of violence, which makes it a little unsuitable for under 14 year olds.

    safe haven

    by sjhallinan

    It was a good movie, there were some parts that I thought more information was needed.. the neighbor who Katie went to when she left her husband then called to say she found a safe
    place. BUt all in all it was a good movie.

    Safe Haven

    by movielover2b

    I loved this movie but then I am a hopeful romantic. I also thought Josh and Julianne were spectacular in it. He makes every romantic scene even more romantic. The movie was also suspenseful and had a lot of twists and turns in it. It will make you believe in love again.

    Wait for it

    by tnkrbl1959

    Was really looking forward to this movie and was truly disappointed. No real chemistry comes across on the screen between "Katie" and any other cast member. Josh Duhamel does a decent job but without help from his co-star it just doesn;t work. Julienne doesn't seem to connect with anyone from Josh down to little Lexi. Save your money and wait for it to come out On Demand for free. Sorry.

    drawn out

    by

    Took too long to introduce the romance. Too much mystery, you're very confused for half the film. The two leads had very little chemistry. Okay movie, very underwhelming.

    Not a true chick flick

    by tzaleski

    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.

    For the hoplessly romantic!!!

    by nmorrile

    I love, love, love this movie!!! I recommend it to the hopelessly romantic. To the ones who are skeptical about love, GO SEE IT!!! it will definitely change your point of view... It had me crying. Although I think, more of her flash backs as to how she came to meet Alex should have been emphasized more.
