Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World - A Review

4  Stars - good

A romantic comedy at the end of the world. Hijinks ensue...

Dodge (Steve Carell) is a boring guy, who when it is announced the world will end, doesn't know what to do. He meets Penny (Keira Knightly) and they set out to find his long lost love and return her to her family, and along the way the two fall for each other.

This film has a lot of good laughs and some real emotional weight to it. All the characters, except for one annoying guy who's only in it briefly, are funny, clever and seem very real. A particular noteworthy performance is Mark Moses as a news anchor, who had a really powerfully emotional scene near the end, and got some great lines throughout.

The romance portion is believable, if a bit predictable, but Carell and Knightly do a really good job and make you give a damn about the characters.

I will break your heart

To sum up, this is a good film, and should be seen.
