"Listen to me. You
come to that launch site at 5:00...
you take my hand, and I'll
show you who can't time travel." -
Kenneth
Why watch this? Two
disenchanted people meet in the oddest of ways. Go with it.
Plot Summary:
Three cynical magazine employees embark on a road trip to
investigate a peculiar classified ad seeking a companion for
time travel. One of the interns, Darius, develops a connection
with the eccentric man who placed the ad, a supermarket clerk
named Kenneth, who claims he's built a time machine. As Darius
gets to know Kenneth, she finds herself increasingly drawn into
his quirky world, questioning whether he is delusional or
actually capable of traveling through time.

Dad's Preview:
Darius, a curious young reporter, heads out on an assignment to
interview Kenneth, who has placed a classified newspaper ad
seeking a companion for time travel. That's right time travel. He's initially kind of
strange, but the more she gets to know him, the less she worries
that he might be off his rocker. The film's strength is the quirky
relationship between Plaza and Duplass. Their clumsy
interactions are really
compelling to watch. The ending has a nice twist, too.
