Safety Not Guaranteed

A pleasant romantic comedy about a reporter who at first investigates then befriends a kook who believes he can travel through time. The reporter, Aubrey Plaza, impressively acts with her eyes more than anything else, to great effect. The kook, played by Marc Duplass, is a little hard to believe as a sincere but misunderstood geek, since I’ve seen him play the wise-ass in so many other things, including The League. The movie says a lot about love, and wanting to go back to the past for no other reason than to take another shot at a long lost crush. It runs a little slow at times, but it feels pretty honest.
