SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED (M.I.F.F.)

Excellent comedy with sci-fi undertones (or should that be overtones?), as Aubrey Plaza (who has a boy’s name) plays Seattle Magazine intern Darius (also a boy’s name); who along with 2 colleagues - smarmy journo Jeff (Jake M Johnson) and earnest college boy Arnau - goes forth to investigate a cryptic, provincial classified advert seeking a companion for time travel (“Must Bring Your Own Weapons. Safety Not Guaranteed”). As Darius becomes closer to the advert’s author, Kenneth (Mark Duplass), and his unconventional plans we follow their progress; along with Jeff’s goal to track down a childhood sweetheart. Funny, heartwarming and one hundred percent enjoyable. It’s brilliantly acted and thoroughly enjoyable. Plaza , Johnson and Duplass have charisma by the bucketload and it’s a funny and truly entertaining movie.

M.I.F.F. Rating 5 out of 5
IMDB: Safety Not Guaranteed
