Really enjoyed seeing Safe Haven today. The story is very good and includes a few refreshingly original ideas. The two leads (Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough) are very attractive and the romance between them is developed at a pace that allows one to follow their experience in some depth and in differing circumstances. Many of the settings are also very scenic and it was a change to be watching a film in which most of the vehicles are boats rather than cars! I saw Julianne Hough in Rock of Ages and thought she acted that well. For me she did pretty darn well in this too. I haven't seen a lot of films with Josh Duhamel in, but I reckon he puts in a good effort here too. Finally, if it's excitement you want, yes, there's a little of that too. Definitely well worth seeing - especially if you like your romance flick(s) to have an exciting edge. 7/10.
