Aubrey Plaza proves she can carry a film with this multiplex-friendly comedy about time travel.
PARK CITY — 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. The movie's time-travel theme may be what intrigues moviegoers, but reality-based comic performances and Derek Connolly's fine, funny script will have them recommending it to friends. Multiplex-friendly and thoroughly winning, its box-office prospects are strong.

Plaza stars as Darius, a social misfit whose magazine internship presents a diverting opportunity: She and another intern (Karan Soni) will accompany staff writer Jeff (Jake Johnson) to Ocean View, Washington, to find out who placed a classified ad seeking a companion for time travel. Smelling a nutcase, Jeff intends to profile the aspiring chrono-voyager; he also, not coincidentally, hopes to find an ex-girlfriend he lost touch with 20 years ago.
