Safe Haven

On Tuesday, February 19, 2013, I went to see the movie Safe Haven, featuring Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough.

This movie is based upon the story of the same name, written by Nicholas Sparks.

Now, in general, I don't really like Nicholas Sparks.  The only thing that I have liked him for is The Notebook.

The story is about the main character, Katie (Erin), who was in a bad relationship with Tierney in Boston.  Tierney is a cop, so it is very difficult to run away from him.  Finally, Erin runs away from her house and boards a bus heading towards Atlanta.  However, Tierney comes to and tries to intercept her.  He doesn't succeed, however, and Erin slips through his fingers.

Erin doesn't make it all the way to Atlanta.  She stops at Southport, North Carolina because she didn't have much money on her and she buys just an empty coffee cup.  The rest of the passengers on the bus board the coach again, but she didn't make it back on...  And she felt that it was okay...

She adopts a new alias, Katie, finds a job as a waitress there, rents a place, gets settled into her new life.  There, she meets Alex, a widowed father with two children, Lexie and Josh.  They fall in love, but Tierney is hot in Katie's trail...

What happens?  You'll have to watch the movie to find out...

I found it a bit typical Nicholas Sparks cheesy romance, with a bit of suspense thrown in...  But, that's what you expect, since it is a Valentine's Day release...
