What's the plot?
If the world was on the brink of destruction, how would you spend your final days?

‘Seeking a Friend for the End of the World’ poses the question as it studies the actions of a doomed population, focusing on insurance salesman Dodge (Steve Carell) and his neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley) as they both adopt different approaches to their last hours on earth that bring them together on a very personal final journey.

‘Seeking a Friend for the End of the World’ also stars Melinda Dillon (Close Encounters).
IFCO Consumer Advice
Brief strong drugs reference. One scene of bloody violence. Moderate sex references..

The film was ok, but if you are depressed or lonely give it a miss. Don't expect great acting from Steve Carell, the only reason I gave the film 3 stars was because of the performance of Keira Knightley who held the film together otherwise I would have given the film a 1 star.

Not brilliant, but still quite entertaining.

I have just seen this film at the Odeon in Leicester. As apocolypse movies go, it is a little disappointing ("Deep Impact" was much more gripping), and Steve Carrell's character, Dodge, did seem a bit limp and weak for most of the time. However, Keira Knightely put up a good performance as Penelope, and carried the film. So while I wouldn't say it's the movie of the year, it's still quite entertaining, and worth watching again when you're at a loose end.
