    by

    This was one of the best movies I have seen in a very long time. I giggled, smiled and cried. My boyfriend even enjoyed the chick flick, as he called it.. I will buy this movie and watch it over and over!!!

    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.

    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 bad movie, as other reviews suggest

    by justlara1

    This movie was sweet, charming, and had me in tears at the end. Yes, the 'stupifying' twist that others complain about, will actually warm your heart. If you have kids, or have lost a loved one, I think it would be impossible to not at least get choked up with this film.Yes, it's true that it's somewhat predictable at times (but then again, there is no surprise the two stars are getting together at SOME point), and it loosely borrows its' storyline from Sleeping with the Enemy, and you do kind of wonder why she would choose to live in the woods after what she's been through (and is going through), but the movie just works.The characters I thought were lovely and had a ton of chemistry. The daughter's character was adorable, the scenery cozy, and the 'bad guy', well...he looks and acts the part. This is no Oscar contender, by any stretch, but since The Notebook had terrible reviews as well, I tend not to pay too much attention to critics. Everyone in the theater, including men, enjoyed

    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.

    Safe Haven

    by thomasjvt

    Definitely a chick flick but interesting enough. A cross between "sleeping with the enemy" and "the note book' though not as stimulating nor comprehensive as either.

    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 :)

    Safe Haven

    by Ang~Tim

    I really loved this movie. My husband went with me and he even liked it. Josh and Julianne are great together! You know how you can't wait to see a movie then you watch it and your let down some what. That's no so with this one.

    Safe Haven movie review

    by thetoecutter

    This movie was good but should have been about 40 minutes shorter. It was just too slow. My girl was smiling the whole time and gripping my hand during the tense parts. My chest did get tight at the end as the movie got to my emotions.

    Safe Haven

    by tellcitygirl46

    Loved it!! Well done. Emotional, good story line, surprise ending. It was great. One of the few movies I would go see again. Took my 24 y/o grandaughter & she felt the same.

    Great ending!!!!!

    by ponyhop

    Movie was very sweet and at some points had you on the edge of your seat. Romance , drama and action all in one. Even a little bit of a thriller. Could never guess the ending of this movie. This is what made it the best movie I have seen in a while!

    Really Cute but Not Worth It

    by saipai24

    I should've waited for it to come out on DVD. The movie was cute and sweet but not so amazing for me to have watched it in the theatres.

    Nice Date Movie

    by Nana Georgia

    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.

    great girls night out!

    by zhonor

    Enjoyed the movie very much. As expected with any Nicolas Sparks story there where a couple of twists that tug and the heart strings! Acting was great! Josh and Julianne had great chemistry!!
