I found this movie by chance and decided to watch it without any expectations cause i was not much familiar with the cast and crew . i was pleasantly surprised , it is so original and manages to feel so real that i was completely engrossed in the story . it is funny , the cast does justice to their roles . not your average fancy looking sci-fi though .

It has been half an hour since I finished watching this movie; the daft grin it left plastered on my face is still there and refusing to budge. An utterly beguiling film, with an ending which pleases the romantic fantasist in me no end!! Watch it! I shall say no more!

I only know Aubrey Plaza from Parks & Recreation, and that show is hilarious. In Safety Not Guaranteed she has the same cheeky innocent face like in the show and it perfectly works again. Her strange relation with Mark Duplass in the movie is lighthearted and entertaining to watch. You would think this movie is a typical afternoon television movie but it's actually better than a lot of movies that get in the theaters for some reason. The story is very simple but it works. The weirdness of Mark Duplass and the gullible attention Aubrey Plaza gives him are the major attractions of this movie but you won't get tired of it. It's a feelgood movie that doesn't need a big budget to make it good. Point is that I didn't get bored and that's a good thing.

The highly talented, but mostly unknown, cast delivers an entertaining feel good drama revolving around the exotic idea of a time machine.The story follows an intern magazine reporter (Aubrey Plaza) trying to write a story about a social outcast (Mark Duplass) who declares himself a time traveler. Plaza and Duplass play off of each other beautifully and take their characters through very relatable character development to keep the viewer interested and guessing at the validity of the potential time traveler's claim. These two are accompanied by a solid supporting cast that help the story move along with often hilarious side stories. While keeping an overall lightheartedness (reminiscent of Back to the Future) throughout the plot, writer Derek Connolly manages to keep everything realistic and credible. Here, Connolly explores the time traveling theme by making the viewer think of the possibility of it and what it represents and finally bringing out the hope for time travel in everyone. This smart, funny and entertaining story doesn't fail to immerse the viewer in its universe and make them fall in love with the characters. A solid work that will keep the viewer guessing, worth the watch.
