I just love really solid indie films, and this is one great example of that. Funny, sincere, dramatic all wrapped up very nicely. Great cast! It's a solid must watch for me.

Loved it.
I've watched so many sub standard films recently, that I feared for the worst with this one. It's so nice to be genuinely blown away by a film, and this one did the job. It is just a lovely, sweet, enjoyable film. It doesn't have massive action, gore or big special effects, but it has depth, it's as much about relationships as it is about time travel, the time travel aspect of the film is secondary to the complexity of the relationships.
One of those heart warming films, that you'll enjoy a second time. I wish it had gone on for longer, or some sort of follow up had been made, showing if the duo had actually gotten to their desired destination.
Loved it. 9/10
great concept, fun, lovely
Darius (Aubrey Plaza) is a young intern at a Seattle-based magazine. She jumps at the chance to investigate a classified ad titled Safety Not Guaranteed seeking someone to travel back in time with. Staff writer Jeff (Jake Johnson) goes along to write the story. Kenneth (Mark Duplass) is the author of the ad but is there really a time machine.
It's a great concept. It's so oddball and real at the same time. With just the premise, it's already fun. The addition of Aubrey Plaza and Jake Johnson gives a fun energy. Mark Duplass is just weird enough to be uncertain about. He is both a nice guy and a little bit off. The characters are great and it's a compelling indie.
