Quotes Jo : To the woman my husband loves: If you're reading this, then it must be true, he loves you without a shadow of a doubt or else he wouldn't have given this to you. User reviews Review. Top review. A Little Bit Bland. Despite the story — on paper — seeming fairly interesting and relatively unique to the romantic genre, the film still manages to bore you for the first hour of it. In fact, the last 30 minutes of the film are sadly the most interesting. Domestic abuse is sadly a very real problem for many but this film somehow makes the issue seem very unrealistic and as something so dramatic it could never happen in real life.
Beautiful people deal with their problems in a beautiful, idyllic small town very quickly and very easily, it isn't exactly interesting. The acting was a lot better than I had expected; Julianne Hough was a bit flat in some scenes but her performance wasn't bad — just not memorable. Josh Duhamel gave a fairly good performance; he was not playing a pretty face with zero background like he has done in other films and he managed to show he can act with at least a little depth.
David Lyons gave the best performance in the film but unfortunately had the least amount of screen time. Playing the creepy, alcoholic, abusive husband, he made the final act worth watching and was quite scary.
Overall, the film certainly is not a bad film; it just isn't a very interesting or memorable one. FAQ 1. What is the first song during the opening credits? Details Edit.

As she is about to leave town, however, Alex intercepts her and says that he has fallen in love with her. Katie returns his love, and decides to stay in Southport. She tells Alex that she fled to Southport to escape her abusive and alcoholic husband, Kevin.
They got in a fight, and she stabbed him in self-defense before she fled south. Kevin is suspended for putting out the fake posters. Enraged, he breaks into Katie's former neighbor's home back in Boston and finds the phone number to the Southport restaurant where Katie works. Arriving just in time for the town's Fourth of July parade, a severely intoxicated Kevin sees Katie kissing Alex, which enrages him. Later, Katie has a dream that she is standing on the docks watching the fireworks when Jo comes up and tells Katie that "he" is here.
Katie wakes up in the convenience store next to a fast asleep Lexie. Suddenly, Kevin appears and confronts her, demanding that she go back with him. She refuses and tells him to leave.
Kevin pulls a gun and pours gasoline all over the store, with the intent to burn it down. When he hesitates, Katie buys time by faking sympathy for him and agreeing to return home with him; when he lets his guard down, she pushes him into the water. However, a firework spark lands on the gasoline, igniting a fire that engulfs the store.
Alex sees the burning store, quickly makes his way across the lake by boat, and saves Lexie. Until that moment, "Safe Haven" was a relatively entertaining, 2. You can usually tell it's a Nicholas Sparks-inspired production just by the poster. Impossibly attractive couple in deep embrace, against the backdrop of the sun setting over the Carolina coast or a driving rainstorm.
That sort of thing. Sparks is an unabashed champion of cornball romance, but he's also quite the merchant of death. A disturbingly high percentage of his main characters either dies, mourns the death of a loved one or faces great peril.
And if you're a kid in Nicholas Sparks movie, don't think you're safe. Water and fire are NOT your friends. Flashing a friendly smile and hopping around in short-shorts for much of the film, Julianne Hough is Katie, a Boston native who arrives in an idyllic town in North Carolina and is welcomed with open arms. She gets a job at the wildly popular local fish house, buys a fantastic fixer-upper cabin nestled deep in the woods and strikes up a friendship-and-maybe-more with the conveniently widowed Alex Josh Duhamel.
He has a beyond-precious daughter, a mildly grumpy son who's old enough to remember his dead mom and a delightfully crusty uncle whose only role in life is to lurk in the background, making sure Alex opens his heart to the possibility of romance. This Alex is some catch. He'd be the ultimate prize on "The Bachelor.
Duhamel and Hough have a lovely and natural chemistry, spending time at the beach, making out in the moonlight and starring in Musical Interludes.
