SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED




Romantic comedy

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Aubrey Plaza: Darius Britt, intern at a Seattle magazine
Jake Johnson: Jeff Schwensen, one of the magazine's writers
Mary Lynn Rajskub: Jeff’s boss Bridget
Karan Soni: Amau, another intern
Mark Duplass: grocery store clerk Kenneth Calloway
Jenica Bergere: Liz, one of Jeff’s old flames

REVIEW
Although it’s not going to win any awards, this whimsical tale about people connecting with others (or reconnecting) is a pleasant enough outing. Promoted as a romantic comedy the humour is of the chuckles variety rather than all-out laughter. In fact pretty much everything is low key including the budget.

CLASSIFICATION
for language including some sexual references. That classification is way out of line: this is a PG-13 movie nothing more.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
While sitting in front of the fire, Darius has a sweater around her shoulders. From the front it’s on both shoulders but viewed from the right hand side it is only on her left shoulder.
