I loved it! So sweet!

IMHO, this movie is about 20 minutes longer than it needs to be, and becomes long and slow in the middle. But that ending is worth waiting for.

Adapted from a Nicholas Sparks novel, Safe Haven is an unusual and touching romantic tale. The story follows a young woman who runs away and starts a new life in a small North Carolina town, but her past comes back to haunt her when it’s discovered that she’s wanted for murder. The storytelling’s quite good, especially in how it unravels the mystery and merges the plot threads. Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel lead the cast and have great chemistry together. The plot is fairly predictable, but it doesn’t feel forced, and has a few interesting twists and reveals that keeps it engaging. Safe Haven is a compelling drama that delivers a charming and romantic story.

I think this is predictable. There are surprising elements (good twists I must say) but everybody knows how this will end. Besides, I didn't connect with Julianne Hough's acting. Watchable movie for sure but nothing else.
