Jeff is a reporter who is tasked to investigate a very strange newspaper ad. His publisher makes him take two interns along with him. Darius strikes up a friendship with the man who placed the ad and finds him to be a tad but eccentric, yet at the same time endearing. Jake Johnson is basically playing his Nick Miller (New Girl) character and is nothing to excited about. Mark Duplass and Aubrey Plaza on the other hand do a great job in their respective roles. I enjoy small films like this which have a sci-fi premise, but which used it as a backdrop for the development of the narrative (such as Timer or 11 Minutes Ago). Overall, a good film.
Safety Not Guaranteed gets 3.5 out of 5 stars.
