"Safe Haven offers an unsurprising but not unsatisfying tour through recognizable Sparkville terrain."

Variety
Variety"While none of the elements of this Valentine Day release chick-flick are remarkable in themselves, in the gifted hands of director Lasse Hallström, there is definitely magic at work."
—
Urban Cinefile
Urban Cinefile"The climactic inferno, which explodes whatever credibility the movie built up, is immediately followed by a cheap, out-of-the-blue supernatural twist."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Long on beauty shots, short on depth and seriously intent on tugging your heartstrings."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"A thriller element that has not been present in earlier Sparks movies is designed to draw reluctant male viewers to see the picture, but they won’t respond with the same enthusiasm as his core audience of woozy romantics."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"Either the filmmakers were out of their minds, or they must think we're out of our minds to buy into this schmaltz."
