Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) by M H — 14 Jan 2014

I thought this was a very lovely but totally oddball film.

Aubrey Plaza was wonderful in this. Her character was likable. And I really liked seeing her relationship with Kenneth (Mark Duplass) grow. Jake Johnson played a douchey character, but he did quite well and he was pretty funny.

One of the things that I liked about the movie was the ending. *SPOILER ALERT* I liked that they actually did time travel. It was nice to know that he wasn't just some crazy person. I really like to think that they lived happily ever after. That being said...I think it pose some paradoxes. Because the girl that he liked from his past was his main reasoning to build this time machine. So if he saved her, then he would have never had a reason to build the time machine, and he never built the time machine then he couldnt have saved her. Unless he really did lie to Darius and she was alive the whole time. In which case, why did he lie?

So anyway, I did quite enjoy it and I would say that its worth a see.
