Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) by Spangle — 11 Aug 2014

Impossible not to fall in love with this one. It really is a great example of how fun a film can be and how enjoyable watching a film can truly be. The acting from Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson, and Karan Soni, is great and very authentic.

These people truly feel like real human beings and because of that, you can really identify with them. This is in large part thanks to the very good acting and the very good writing. The story really strikes a chord with you and the way it is presented is very good.

I also like the the combination of comedy, romance, and sci-fi here. All are very well done and provide enough to keep your interest high. Overall, Safety Not Guaranteed is a funny, charming, touching, and exciting, little film that is worthy of the small amount of praise it got, though it may even deserve a bit more.

It is not one of the best films ever, but it is a fun little watch that makes the hour and a half fly by like nothing.
