This ad is what the movie Safety Not Guaranteed is based on.

I wouldn’t say it starred Kristen Bell. She appears in one scene.

And she was the star of that scene.
I don't actually remember anyone who was in that movie.

Jake Johnson, Aubrey Plaza, Karan Soni, Jenica Bergere and Mark Duplass.

It wasn't the greatest movie but it was perfectly watchable. I've seen it at least twice? The first time for the memes, the second for having a crush on Aubrey Plaza lol.

It sucked ass. It was one of those movies where it's about the color blue, but it's red the whole time and the color blue is only implied to happen just as the movie rolls credits.

Oh yeah like Downsizing. It's one of those movies that should have been a tax write-off but it wasn't good enough.
