    Horrible acting

    by jennifergwilson

    The plot was predictable and I the only thing that could've redeemed the movie were the actors. But both Duhamel and Hough did sub par jobs. If you are expecting a 'the notebook esque" experience, prepare to be very disappointed. You are better off watching a lifetime orginal movie.

    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.

    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 nanarice1

    Enjoyed the movie, the scenery was beautiful and Hough and Duhamel were very believable in the roles they played. It seemed to almost parallel to Sleeping with the Enemy in some areas, but ended up with a twist that I didn't see coming. I thought the story was great and I loved the ending.

    Valentines Day

    by glderrick

    My wife and I attended last night for Valentines, we're still talking about it this morning. We have a home on Bald Head Island near Southport so had been wrapped up in the filming this summer. It was better than we every expected. Wonderful love story. We are going back Sunday with our kids to see it again

    Love story

    by notallthere

    The movie was a love story. The book had much more detail to their relationship. I enjoyed the movie. Loved the book more. Love Nicholas Sparks :)

    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.

    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.

    It was good.

    by jordanalmond4

    I thought it was a good movie, but i wish i hadn't read the book first. There were a LOT of differences between the book and the movie. But it was still good.

    A good flick

    by

    Took the wife and we both love the movie. Then again, it is a Nick Sparks film. If you are into his stories, it is a must see. If not, catch when you can.

    Yes, a "Chick Flick". But a good one.

    by dansmithphd

    I only post reviews when I feel a movie has been disproportionately praised or criticized. I believe this one has been disproportionately criticized. It is indeed a "chick flick" in every sense, and some of it requires patience, but for what it is, it is a very good movie. It is rare that I will see a movie like this, but to my wife's surprise I enjoyed it a lot.

    Loved It

    by drharrell2

    This movies was great! I went to see it by myself(rarely get to do), and I was not the only one wiping away tears at times during the movie. I felt like I was watching a beautiful romance unfolding and cheering them on. There was one love seen in the movie that was handled very tastefully. You get the idea what is going to unfold without splashing the whole seen across the screen. It was definitely a make you feel good movie with an interesting fact that came out in the end. I'm an easy sell for a happy ending and this definitely delivered. I want to see it again and take my teenage daughter. A good movie for couples too. It isn't just a chick flick.

    Best romance movie. Hands down.

    by

    I'm not usually an emotional movie watcher, but I cried like a baby watching this movie. It was not predictable, like most Hollywood movies. I would recommend this movie to EVERYONE.

    not another NS movie

    by

    Good come back after the awful chemistry in 'The Lucky One'. I went into the theater not having watched a single movie trailer or reading one review. I didn't even read the book. It didn't start out like a normal Nicholas Sparks movie (panning over a landscape and a sunrise). Loved the twist (which i caught earlier when the flying fish was mentioned). Wonderful adaptation.

    Go see it if you've read the book and are a Nicholas Sparks fan.

    by

    They changed several things from the book, which always annoys me. However, I just love Josh Duhamel and he is reason alone to see the movie! :) Plus, as an added bonus, Julianne Hough was quite delightful. I have never seen her in anything before and I really liked her.

    I can see where people who are not fans wouldn't much care for this movie, but I thought it was worth it since I had invested time in the book and I kept up with the hype on the Safe Haven Facebook page. I'm a sucker for a good romance. :)
