Safe Haven



Movie: Safe Haven
Genre: drama
Synopsis: Based on a Nicolas Sparks novel - Katie (Julianne Hough) is on the run from her abusive cop husband.  The takes refuge in a small South Carolina coastal town.  There, she meets Alex (Josh Duhamel).  Alex is a widower with two children and runs the local general store/gas station.  The question is – will she relax enough to allow her relationship with Alex to develop before her past catches up to her.

My two cents: Pretty good – but not quite great.  Julianne Hough was great – really breathtakingly beautiful.  My biggest problem is that I kept expecting Alex to act more like Duhamel’s Danny McCoy character from “Las Vegas”.  Overall a nice romance movie with a bit more action than your typical Nicolas Sparks movie.
