44.) Safety Not Guaranteed


"It's that time and that place and that song, and you remember what it was like when you were in that place. And then you listen to that song, and you know you're not in that place anymore, and it makes you feel hollow. You can't just go find that stuff again."

Review: Darius is in a funk, life hasn't been the same after her mother passed away. She begins interning at a magazine and gets and assignment to check out a guy who believes that he can time travel and is looking for a partner to go with him. Darius with another intern and her boss infiltrate Kenneth's plan to time travel thinking that he is a complete nut, but after Darius spends some time with his she begins to fall for him. 

Opinion: This was a fun and cute movie. Audrey Plaza plays pretty much the same character she always plays, but a little less cynical in this movie. Jake Johnson also plays pretty much the same character he always plays, Nick on New Girl, but he made the movie pretty funny.  I really like independent films because they don't play to the whole big Hollywood ideas. This is a simple, cute film.

Ideas: I would recommend this book to anyone who reads any of the general fiction books like Gingerbread, or Stoner & Spaz, just because they are all about real life but have an underline feeling of hope. That's what this movie has.
