23 Worst Movie Endings Since 2000

8. Robin Scherbatsky Was A Ghost The Whole Time - Safe Haven

Safe Haven is another dull Nicholas Sparks adaptation, following Katie (Julianne Hough), a woman with a troubled past who moves to a new town and makes fast friends with neighbour Jo (Cobie Smulders) and hunky single parent Alex Wheatley (Josh Duhamel), whose wife died of cancer a few years ago. The two have an uneasy courtship as Katie has to deal with the ghosts of her past, and the movie is perfectly bland until its finale, which has Alex discover a series of letters left to him by his wife, including one addressed "To Her", implying whichever woman Alex next falls in love with. Katie is given the letter, the contents of which have Jo thanking her for making Alex happy again, before the revelation is made that Katie's neighbour Jo, who leaves town just minutes before, is in fact the ghost of Alex's dead wife. Why It Sucks: Up until the final 3 minutes of the movie, Safe Haven is an inoffensively bad romantic drama, one that becomes offensively, hilariously awful when the supernatural twist is thrown into the mix for absolutely no reason at all. Somewhere, someone, somehow found this twist romantic and dramatically resonant, but not here: if you're over the age of about 14, this tripe just doesn't fly, especially when it's thrown in without a care in the world in the final moments of the film.
