Safety Not Guaranteed Reviews

Movie Reviews

• touching, generous, sweet, this little slip of a movie puts you under some kind of spell

  by Mary F. Pols [TIME Magazine ]

• this intentionally meta movie feels less subversive than Safety Not Guaranteed

  by Karina Longworth [Village Voice ]

• they and their actors create humor and heart by treating the outlandish scenario with complete respect

  by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]

• the resulting film is a slight, wistful comedy that, at least up to the ambitious but unsatisfying final scenes, combines sci-fi and rom-com to pleasing effect

  by Dana Stevens [Slate ]

• takes the risk of having feelings, and it's richer for it

  by Kyle Smith [New York Post ]

• something fundamentally bogus lies at the "warm" heart of "Safety Not Guaranteed,"

  by Kathleen Murphy [MSN Movies ]

• movies with a voice as strong, strange, smart and yes, sincere as "Safety Not Guaranteed" deserve to be heard long after the festival's end

  by James Rocchi [MSN Movies ]

• it's too tidy by half, but it is also very sweetly told

  Review rate : B by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• director Colin Trevorrow and writer Derek Connolly keep the film humming with funny and touching surprises. And Plaza is a flat-out enchantress

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• casually realistic, with semi-improvised dialogue and low-tech production values, it is truthful without seeming portentous

  by Stephen Holden [New York Times ]

• because "Safety Not Guaranteed" is wholly committed to all of its odd characters, we are swayed by them as well

  by Kenneth Turan [Los Angeles Times ]
