Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)
Directed by Colin Trevorrow
"Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. Safety not guaranteed."
Before Colin Trevorrow did dinosaurs, he made this perfect little indie about time travel, loneliness, and believing in the impossible. Aubrey Plaza plays a cynical magazine intern investigating a guy who posted the most iconic classified ad ever written.
It's awkward. It's sweet. It's the kind of movie that makes you believe in weird people with impossible dreams. Mark Duplass is unhinged in the best way. You'll finish it and immediately want to place a classified ad for your own adventure.
