10 Movies That Completely Swap Genre For Just One Scene

3. The Ending - Safety Not Guaranteed

The ending of Safety Not Guaranteed completely changes the film. If you don€™t want to know what happens, you might want to click away to the next page. Consider yourself warned. Throughout the movie, Aubrey Plaza€™s Darius Britt and her journalist colleagues have been mocking Mark Duplass€™ character Kenneth. Little does he know, but Darius only replied to Kenneth's €œWanted: Somebody to go back in time with me€ classified ad to get a comedic article out of it. All the way, even as the two become friends, we€™re not meant to believe that he actually has a time machine. For 99% of its running time, Colin Trevorrow€™s Safety Not Guaranteed is an indie comedy about two unlikely acquaintances becoming close friends. Right at the end it has a massive genre swap, though, becoming a hard sci-fi movie with an actual time machine, and providing a euphoric conclusion to the story in the process.
