Josh Duhamel and Julianne Hough in Safe Haven (2013)

Goofs

Safe Haven

Edit

Continuity

Katie calls and leaves a message on her neighbor's answering machine while at work at Ivan's on a Monday (according to the answering machine). When Kevin calls Ivan's and listens to the recording, it states that Ivan's is open Tuesday to Sunday, meaning it is closed on Monday.
When Kevin Tierney drives away from the 4th of July Parade roadblock, the car has a front license plate as it begins to turn around. In the next shot of the front of the car there is no front license plate.
Katie's lipstick is inconsistent when she and Alex are talking in the canoe.
After Katie and Alex get caught in the rain storm and go into the restaurant, Katie's face is instantly dry and her makeup hasn't been affected at all. Her hair appears to be freshly combed as well and looks dramatically different from when they first walked in the door.
When Lexi is preparing to jump from the roof, her shirt straps fall down to her arms. When the camera cuts back to her, the shirt straps are back up.

Factual errors

When Kevin (the abusive husband) finally finds Erin, he says Katie to her. The name she started using after she left him.
The color swatches Katie is given, is a Sherwin-Williams fan deck. When the paint arrives it's Benjamin Moore.
The bus Katie boards is shown traveling the Linn Cove viaduct on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Commercial vehicles are prohibited on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Tour buses are permitted, however, viewers are led to believe Katie purchased a ticket on a commercial bus (e.g. Greyhound). The bus shown is a charter/tour bus but the bus station clerk again implies the commercial nature by saying their Atlanta station is their Southeast hub.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

They are sitting in the canoe facing each other, but Katie is paddling backwards ; except perhaps when she is bringing the canoe to a stop.

Revealing mistakes

The fireworks were being transported to the launch site were the common class 'C' home type of artillery shells, yet the fireworks launched were of the large 10 to 12 inch commercial mortar type.

Miscellaneous

Safe Haven is a redundant title says the word "haven" is by definition a safe place.

Errors in geography

A bus trip from Boston to Atlanta, as indicated in the film, would pass through North Carolina on either I-85 or possibly I-95. The town of Southport is a minimum of 2 hours east of the nearest logical route. The same is true for the scene in the mountains when the bus crosses the Lin Cove Viaduct in western NC.
Near the beginning of the film, an aerial view of the bus taking Katie to Atlanta is shown traveling on the Linn Cove viaduct in western North Carolina. The Linn Cove viaduct is part of the National Park Service's Blue Ridge Parkway and is closed to commercial vehicles including buses.
