Movie: Seeking a Friend for
the End of the World
Genre: romantic comedy
Synopsis: Dodge (Steve
Carell) is an accountant. When it is
announced that a meteor is soon going to strike – and destroy – the earth,
things start to fall apart. After his
wife leaves him, he strikes up a friendship with his neighbor, Penny (Keira
Knightley). He decides to try and help
Penny get back to her family (in England) before the world ends. This launches the two of them on a rather
unusual road trip.
My two cents: I went into
this movie curious about how you make the end of the world humorous. Well, they did it. I think Steve Carell is the go-to-guy for
romantic comedies. He was perfect in
this movie. The stops the two of them
make on the road are hilarious – and touching.
Definitely a movie worth seeing if you like romantic-comedies.
