(Wha?) But Jo seemed to like something about Katie and started to nudge her to be with her widowed husband when he started to do grand, romantic gestures for her like…drop of a bike in her driveway in the middle of the night. Now, the answer to that immediately should have been no, as Katie is someone who literally arrives in town with a duffel bag and nothing else and whose idea of a home repair to fix a giant hole in her floor was to paint over it. Isn’t one of the main advantages of being a ghost is that you can just kind of go in places the still living can’t, like the mall after closing hours? I gather Jo was just doing recon at this point: who was this mysterious blonde girl making eyes at my husband? Can she be trusted around my precocious youngsters? Jo is on the porch of Katie’s dilapidated house, peering in through the window, which is completely stupid in and of itself. First, let’s look back at how Jo and Katie (I’m dropping the Erin, as we know her as Katie for most of the flick) met. Now, here’s why this is so creepy and ridiculous for a bevy of reasons. I’d call this a record-scratching moment, but I’m not sure record players have even made it to Southport yet, so maybe a phonograph-interrupting moment. If you are still reading that means one thing, you saw Safe Haven and are still trying to wrap your mind the ending in which Katie/Erin ( Julianne Hough) discovers that her friendly neighbor Jo ( Cobie Smulders) turned out to be a… g-g-g-g-ghost! Not just any ghost though, the ghost of her boyfriend Alex’s ( Josh Duhamel) deceased wife and mother of his children Lexi and Josh. That said, if you haven’t seen Safe Haven yet and would like to remain unspoiled, leave now as there are MASSIVE, CRAZY SPOILERS AHEAD.
But, now that some of you have witnessed this piece of cinematic lunacy for yourselves over this Valentine’s weekend, I can talk about it you guys. When it was over all I wanted to do was discuss those enormous and plentiful plot holes, the outdated settings (seriously, did no one in Southport own a cell phone?), and that totally banana pants crazy twist ending. and that in the darkest hour, love is the only true safe haven.My only regret about seeing Safe Havenwasn’t just seeing it in the first place, but that I didn’t take a big group of friends to experience this utter madness with me. With Jo's empathic and stubborn support, Katie eventually realizes that she must choose between a life of transient safety and one of riskier rewards. a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country, to the sheltered oasis of Southport. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her. Despite her reservations, Katie slowly begins to let down her guard, putting down roots in the close-knit community and becoming increasingly attached to Alex and his family.
