Going out to the movies every weekend was getting expensive, and I wasn’t in the mood for Lincoln, so we stayed in and rented Safety Not Guaranteed. I was afraid I’d be put off by the characters (because I’m old and crotchety,) but they were all pretty well realized and it turned out to be a sweet and engaging film. Then I looked it up to see why it didn’t make a bigger splash at the box office and found out they made it for $750K, which is pretty impressive. I hope they get something from my $4.99 rental.
