Does Safe Haven Play it Unsafe?


If you are wondering whether you should see Safe Haven don’t let the fact that it was based off of a Nicholas Sparks’ novel cloud your judgment. This film has all of the romance and sentiment expected from it with a thrilling twist.

Like many of the Nicholas Sparks based films, Safe Haven will have the ladies nudging their boyfriends to turn up the romance in their lives. As anticipated, this film had an attractive cast with Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel cast as the leads. 
Safe Haven will have you crying, sighing, and denying any doubts of true love. From the very beginning of this film’s journey, audiences were able to identify the familiar with the famous Nicholas Sparks film “passionate embrace” poster. And the film just wouldn't be a Nicholas Sparks film if it didn't have love letters and a beachfront setting.

Safe Haven is as enjoyable for its classic romantic qualities as its exciting surprises. Unlike the previous Nicholas Sparks films, this movie has a little action among the steamy scenes. If you become as engrossed in films as I do, you will experience tears, followed by laughter, followed by shrieks. Don’t let films like Dear John and The Notebook fool you into believing this film will just be a sop fest. You may be as pleasantly surprised by this movie as I was.
The only shortfall of Safe Haven would be how unrealistic it is compared to real life.  I mean, I would love to say I look like a super model after being caught in a torrential downpour, but I guess that luxury is only reserved for ladies like Julianne Hough and Rachel McAdams. It’s hard to connect with a girl who looks beautiful in every scene, even in situations where no human being could possibly look that perfect.

Despite the predictability and impracticality of parts of the film, Safe Haven is a must-see for any girl looking for a good film to pair with a dose of post-breakup Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. This film is also the perfect way to prove to your boyfriend that romantic films can have action in them. Regardless of your reasons for watching it, Safe Haven has the Sparks’ themes you know and love, plus a little extra punch of passionate drama.
