Rating: 9 out of 10, I am so grateful to my daughter for putting me onto this completely quirky but ultimately redemptive movie. The combination of Plaza, doe eyes ablaze, seeking out meaning in her life while working as an undercover reporter with an apparent wacko (Duplass) who plans on time travelling. Their arc of developing relationship is so much fun to watch. The lead reporter’s transition in a secondary plot line is skillfully woven in as well. Jake Johnson does a great job with a shallow man who finds depth in his young interns. The ending of this movie is now definitely in the top five ending scenes of any movie I’ve ever seen, saying a lot about just how well done this flick is. You want to raise your fist with Johnson while howling in joy.
MVP: Duplass as the dedicated yet troubled genius Kenneth
