Running Time: 86 minutes

Synopsis: When an unusual classified advertisement inspires three cynical Seattle magazine employees to look for the story behind it, they discover a mysterious eccentric named Kenneth, a likable but paranoid supermarket clerk, who believes he's solved the riddle of time travel and intends to depart soon. Together, they embark on a hilarious, smart, and unexpectedly heartfelt journey that reveals how far believing can take you.

Verdict: Engaging and energetic, Safety Not Guaranteed is a clever comedy that is unique in presenting the entertaining Kenneth, a man who requires an assistant to help him with his intent on travelling through time.

The alluring adventure and soul of Safety Not Guaranteed encapsulated my attention effortlessly as did Aubrey Plaza as Darius who genuinely secured her role as an intern at a magazine. Her relationship with Kenneth (Mark Duplass) develops sincerely whilst we are introduced to Jake M. Johnson's character, Jeff and Arnau (Karan Soni).

The unexpected drama of the film enables audiences to see not only into their creative future but to move on from the past.
