SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED
(Review)
WANTED Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 91 Ocean View, WA 99393. You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring
your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.
What would you
do if you saw this ad?
If you’re Jeff (Jake
Johnson), who works at Seattle Magazine,
you take two interns (Karan Soni and Scott
Pilgrim vs. the World and Damsels in
Distress’ Aubrey Plaza) and use
it as your next story.
What director Colin
Trevorrow and writer Derek Connolly have done in their impressive feature debut
is to craft a quirky, funny, and ultimately poignant tale of nostalgia and
regret as we follow the Seattle Magazine crew
as they investigate Kenneth Calloway (Mark Duplass, of the Duplass Brothers),
the man who’s looking for a time travel buddy.
For anyone who’s
ever wondered “What if?” (and let’s face it, that is every single one of us), Safety Not Guaranteed’s your ticket.
