I've watched so many sub standard films recently, that I feared for the worst with this one. It's so nice to be genuinely blown away by a film, and this one did the job. It is just a lovely, sweet, enjoyable film. It doesn't have massive action, gore or big special effects, but it has depth, it's as much about relationships as it is about time travel, the time travel aspect of the film is secondary to the complexity of the relationships.

One of those heart warming films, that you'll enjoy a second time. I wish it had gone on for longer, or some sort of follow up had been made, showing if the duo had actually gotten to their desired destination.

Loved it. 9/10

Darius (Aubrey Plaza) is a young intern at a Seattle-based magazine. She jumps at the chance to investigate a classified ad titled Safety Not Guaranteed seeking someone to travel back in time with. Staff writer Jeff (Jake Johnson) goes along to write the story. Kenneth (Mark Duplass) is the author of the ad but is there really a time machine.

It's a great concept. It's so oddball and real at the same time. With just the premise, it's already fun. The addition of Aubrey Plaza and Jake Johnson gives a fun energy. Mark Duplass is just weird enough to be uncertain about. He is both a nice guy and a little bit off. The characters are great and it's a compelling indie.

In Seattle, the editor of a magazine, Bridget (Mary Lynn Rajskub),assigns the cynical reporter Jeff (Jake Johnson) and the interns Darius (Aubrey Plaza) and Arnau (Karan Soni) to find and interview the author of an advertisement inviting a companion for a time travel.

They travel to a coastal town in Washington and Jeff leaves Darius and Arnau watching the PO Box. Darius finds that the man is Kenneth Calloway (Mark Duplass),who works in a supermarket. Meanwhile Jeff's only interest is to find his former sweetheart that lives in town and Arnau wants to have sexual experience. Now Darius has to find whether Kenneth is a lunatic or has really invented a time machine.

"Safety Not Guaranteed" is a comedy with a promising beginning, with funny and witty dialogs and situations. Unfortunately, in a moment the story becomes pointless and boring romance that goes nowhere. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Sem Segurança Nenhuma" ("Without any Safety")
