 My Thoughts

Safe Haven starts off strong with Katie fleeing the scene of a scuffle. She eventually finds her way to New York and thinks her troubles are far behind her. She meets and quickly falls in love with Alex and his family. But it turns out that its not as that easy for her to run away from her problems. They follow her to New York and soon her secrets not only threaten to rip apart her blossoming romance, but possibly end the lives of the family she has come to love. Alex has to find a way to save her without getting his family caught in the cross fire.
 
I think the movie was a great spin off of Nicholas Spark's novel. It stays pretty true to the book which is something that always me happy. The cast was awesome. Josh Duhamel, who I have adored since his days on All My Children, gave a particularly heart-warming performance as a windowed dad. This is a great movie choice for date night since it has the romance the girls love and some actions for the guys. Safe Haven is an sweet romance with a hint of danger, giving you the best of both worlds.
