Netflix pick for 4/30/13 – ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’

“Safety Not Guaranteed” is a great little sorta sci-fi, sorta romantic dramedy about a trio of magazine workers who investigate that curious classified ad on the poster above. Intrigued by this great little ad, they set out to find out if this guy is for real or not, and in the meantime, other things get found out as well.

From my original review posted on Examiner.com:

‘This is a very good movie, pretty funny throughout, but not really content with just being a comedy. They do quite a bit of thematic exploration, with so many characters secretly pondering their past decisions and the repercussions of what they did and how they acted, and this is a pretty universal topic, something that just about anyone can cop to at one time or another. What if I didn’t break up with that girl? What if I didn’t buy that stupid car? Why didn’t I help that old lady across the street this morning, and did she eventually make it or did she get hit by a city bus? Am I to blame if she did? Does that make me a bad person? Everyone has these types of questions lingering in their minds somewhere, and “Safety Not Guaranteed” is pretty much a comedy based on these kinds of regrets. And yes, that makes you a bad person, letting that old lady get killed.’

Doesn’t that sound just delightful? So click here to start watching this movie on the good ole’ Netflix Instant, or queue it up on whatever device you got going on there in your home with all your stuff.
