A big win for everyone involved, Safety Not Guaranteed is especially exciting for fans of Aubrey Plaza, who proves she's good for more than snarky scene-stealing and can actually carry a film. Full Review

Justin Chang, Variety

A small movie with a big heart, Safety Not Guaranteed is a sci-fi-tinged oddball comedy about love as the ultimate risky adventure. Full Review

Jeff Bayer, The Scorecard Review

It's like this film almost sneaks up on you as you're watching it. At first it's just quirky/cute, but it becomes much more. Mark Duplass gives his best performance. Full Review

Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com

Safety Not Guaranteed succeeds on its own merits by adapting our expectations towards more basic ideas of human nature rather than the fantastical sci-fi notions of the mind. Full Review

Totally charming. Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass make a wonderful pair. This has real sleeper potential. Full Review

... addresses the current generation of maturing adults who seem homeless in their own lives. Despite the story zipping forward with its sillier intentions, the underlying angst effectively resonates. Full Review
