關於這部電影

When a mysterious young woman named Katie appears in the small North Carolina town of Southport, it raises questions about her past. Beautiful yet self-effacing, Katie seems determined to avoid forming personal ties until a series of events draws her into two reluctant relationships: one with Alex, a widowed store owner with a kind heart and two young children; and another with her plainspoken single neighbor, Jo. But even as Katie begins to fall in love, she struggles with the dark secret that still haunts and terrifies her... a past that set her on a fearful, shattering journey across the country. 2012 Relativity Media.

評分和評論

Only in the Dream Land of a single, never-married, young woman would a scenario like this come to fruition. (Nicolas Sparks has gotten very wealthy by appealing to this crowd.) What happened to helping your spouse through through the hard times in a marriage? It is not "romantic" to even think like that today. **Warning** I'm going to expose the plot!** Instead, It's romantic to leave your current husband, date a widow, and have the blessing of his dead wife?!? Oh, yeah. And--to have a really perfect ending--the husband dies a miserable death while burning down the widow's dead wife's last dwelling place. This would never happen in real life. If women were honest, most would come back as a poltergeist to haunt her husband's current girlfriend, lover, etc. (if it were possible to come back from the dead). And, if a woman were on her deathbed, she would not take the time to write a letter to her husband's future wife-to-be. She would be trying to figure out a cure for her disease so that she can be with her husband and raise her children herself. (By the by, apricot seeds are a great malignant cell (cancer cell) destroyer.) This movie is great for a single woman (or any woman) who wants to continue to live in Dream Land. Other than that, it is complete fluff.

Can't say Ms. Hough will win any awards for her acting, but the chemistry between her and Josh Duhamel is electric! And the people who play her husband and Jo make it chilling and fantastic!!!

Saw this on the plane and was very happy to have seen it. I don't think I would have thought to watch it otherwise.
