Safety Not Guaranteed
Did you know Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass made a movie together? Yeah, me neither. Safety Not Guaranteed was initially screened at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it apparently walked away with the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. The film follows Plaza who plays an intern at Seattle Magazine that has been asked by her boss to investigate a classified ad that reads “Wanted: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. I have only done this once before. SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED. I have only done this once before.”
Watch anytime on Netflix.
