Wes S @RT57139158 May 16 Quirky, a little uneven, but completely captivating. Plaza's deadpan understated performance is used to its best advantage. The film explores themes of loneliness, disillusionment and loss through a wry comedic lens, and does it very well.

See more Rob A @RT76386004 Mar 21 Had its moments but the ending was lazy/silly and there were several plotlines either abandoned or self-contradictory. Aubrey Plaza was cute and deadpan as always and the film didn't bore me, but it could have been much better. The premise was good, but the writing was very uneven in my opinion. See more Par H @Parhwy Mar 6 Safety Not Guaranteed is an 86-minute-long film from 2012 which I watched on Prime in March 2026. This film is easy to watch. That said it contains a couple of moral choices in the story (lying/manipulation, and underage drinking then sex with adults [well, I think that is what may have, could have, happened: three people who can’t drive nor drink are given beer by adults which leads to foreplay and the assumption of off-screen sex… hey, maybe they were 19]). Jake’s character is a sleazebag with an all-too-hidden-not-hidden flaw which partly mirrors Kenneth’s however he’s just weird, awkward. The laughs are chuckles and hahas. The preamble that Darius is lonely and listless was set early on however her falling in love is spurious, yet I enjoyed it, in fact I cheered at the end (I am a push-over for a sci-fi rom-com). Rewatch? No, the punchlines are spent, the story limited and Jake not enjoyable. Recommend? Yes (no guarantees). See more Edmond H @Firedude144 Feb 28 Too many abandoned plotlines. What's the point of goingback in time to fix his girlfriend problem then finding out she's not dead? The FBI agents act like Laurel and Hardy...where did they go at the end, just when it started getting interesting. Nice acting but poor plot development. Left unsatisfied.
