Directed by: Colin Trevorrow
Written by: Derek Connolly
Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson, Karan Soni, Mark Duplass
Safety Not Guaranteed is the title of director Colin Trevorrow's recent film. But it's also, at the core of the movie's plot, a warning in a want ad that seeks determined time travelers.
Satisfaction isn't guaranteed either. Just like the principal characters may or may not journey through the 4th dimension, find a better world or even achieve a sense of belonging with a fellow human being, audiences may not take to this quirky offering's resolution.
It doesn't mean that Safety Not Guaranteed makes for a bad afternoon. It's hard not to warm to its flawed characters and their crackpot dreams. They have all the pitiful attraction of a box full of sick puppies.
And charm — my, how Safety Not Guaranteed just seethes with charm.
What the flick lacks is any conclusion...
