I adore Aubrey Plaza, so I was more than ready to sign up for this genre-defying film. Plaza stars as Darius an intern for a magazine run by Bridget (Mary Lynn Rajskub) who sends a reporter, Jeff (Jake Johnson), Darius and fellow intern, Arnau (Karan Soni) to investigate an ad seeking a companion for time…
