ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A brilliant dramedy with a 91% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes that teeters on the border of science fiction, SAFETY NOT GUARANTEED turns time travel into a deep exploration of the timelessness of human relationships through time travel.

USA Today raves, "Safety Not Guaranteed casts an enchanting spell from its opening scene."
