BrianSez's Review

Summary - Good 3.0

This is a quirky and understated comedy with healthy doses of dry wit and sarcastic tones underlying a homey love story. With Mark Duplass (of ‘Office’ fame) as the target of an investigation, an unlikely cast of characters set out to find out why he intends on time-travel. Lots of LOL moments are generated with the sarcastic focus on the crazy-dude, but the story morphs in to something more serious and love-story ish. This movie is worth your time, and will likely bring a few smiles and chuckles your way.

Acting - Good 3.0

Mark Duplass pretty much acts like he does in the Office, with an understated straight-man style of humor.

Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation) is making a name for herself as a young, funny actress who also plays the sarcasm card.

Jake Johnson (New Girl) is hit and miss as the irresponsible chaperone, and Jenica Bergere should have been given a bigger part as his voluptuous ex-girlfriend.

Mary Lyn Rajskub (24) has a cameo as the magazine boss; Same goes for Jeff Garlin (Curb your Enthusiasm) as Aubrey’s dad. They both are very good in their TV roles, so I was surprised at the smallness of their parts.

Karan Soni was un-memorable as the other intern-tag along.
