ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Michael Ledo This is another domestic violence movie, where the punching bag woman (Julianne Hough) is on the lam for murder. She meets a hunk who looks like Josh Duhamel with two kids. They hit it off. She must face her past. He confesses his undying love for her (see poster picture for that plot spoiler), etc. etc. Doesn't anybody get tired of this stuff?The acting was good, but I kept waiting for something to happen. And when it did happen, I couldn't wait for it to be over. It reminded me more of a dentist trip. I hurled chunks during most of the film. If your man claims he liked the film, he is lying. But remember he is lying more for you than to you. Do him a favor and don't make him watch this film with you.Parental Guide: No f-bombs or nudity. Chick flick love scene.
Howlin Wolf Angels? Really?!!The film mixes domestic abuse - a real issue which is a serious societal problem - with fantastical whimsy of a sort that, to put it kindly, has a negligible relationship with this particular plane of existence, at best...That's cheap, even for Nicholas Sparks. Cheap, mawkish, tacky and tawdry.
sdavid-41660 In his review of the film Safe Haven posted on RogerEbert.com (which you can access on IMDb), who knew that a flummoxed Richard Roeper not only likes to play film critic but also ghostbuster? If you don't choose to read his review, Mr. Roeper was "flummoxed" (his word) that the reveal at the end of Safe Haven involved a ghost interacting with a character. He called it: "Bat. Bleep. Crazy."So here's a news flash for Mr. Roeper: Sometimes in films ghosts interact with people. They're not documentaries, they're movies, and sometimes in movies ghosts are characters too. No one takes them literally. No one was "flummoxed" when Kevin Costner was having a catch with his deceased dad in Field of Dreams. The ending of Safe Haven was a touching tribute from a deceased wife who wanted her husband to find love; no less touching than the real life wife who wanted the same for her husband and made that her final act on this earth. Her open letter appeared in the March 3, 2017 edition of the New York Times, entitled "You May Want To Marry My Husband." She died ten days later.Richard Roeper is entitled to his opinions, even stupid ones, but we should all be flummoxed that a website dedicated to the incomparable Roger Ebert actually publishes them.
nbrottie Until I read these reviews, I did not know there was a book. BUT I loved this story! There were a few points that the director missed, like how is her husband searching for her after he had just been stabbed???? But the rest was good. I actually googled the town and felt like packing up for the "sleepy little town" feeling. The movie was made simple and the feel-good was simple. Our society needs more simple.. so ladies, grab your tea, blanket and hit "play"!
