When a mysterious young woman named Katie (Julianne Hough) washes up in the small North Carolina town of Southport, she is determined not to make personal relationships.

When Katie feels herself falling for him, she must choose between familar safety and the perils that come with love... Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks.

PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Either the filmmakers were out of their minds, or they must think we're out of our minds to buy into this schmaltz (...) Rating: *1/2 (out of four)" (Richard Roeper: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"Safe Haven offers an unsurprising but not unsatisfying tour through recognizable Sparkville terrain" (Justin Chang: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"A terrible thing to do to your Valentine (...) Rating: * (out o four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"Salmon Fishing In The Yemen and Chocolat man Hallström is an old pro at navigating this kind of undemandingly dramatic yarn and does a pretty fine job with Sparks' story. (...) Rating: *** (out of five)" (Anna Smith: Empire)

----------------------------------------
"This one blends the scented candles of a daytime soap with the tamer aspects of a middling thriller. Some folks will bring Kleenex. Others will need NoDoz" (Rex Reed: The New York Observer)

----------------------------------------
"The picture-postcard location of Southport, N.C., is the film's strong suit (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)

----------------------------------------
"I like Duhamel, and in her first straight-up dramatic role Hough does well enough, though her singing and/dancing career thus far has trained her to oversell, as opposed to sell, as opposed to act naturally (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune)
