Product Description
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley lead an all-star cast in this clever and heartwarming comedy that explores the crazy things people do when humanity's last days are at hand. Set in a too-near future two neighbors Dodge (Carell) and Penny (Knightley) react in their own unique ways to the announcement that a 70-mile-wide asteroid is en route to the Earth. He wants to return to his first love. She just wants to get back to her family. As the unlikely companions' respective journeys converge their outlooks - if not the world's - brighten in surprising and hilarious ways. The feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria (Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist) Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is being hailed as 'funny and wonderfully poetic! Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are superb.' (Claudia Puig USA

In the beginning, I didn't have a relationship with either of the characters because Dodge, (Carell) was definitely a non-participatory wallflower with a non-descript, blah personality. But, as I watched, I began seeing different layers to his personality. But not until Penny (Kiera) literally climbed into his apartment window. Even then, his emotional growth came in spurts.
Penny, for me, in the beginning was a bit flighty, air-headed, and seemed interested in only having fun. I soon realized this persona of hers was actually a covert operation to reach in and pull out the real Dodge. After this, I truly began to enjoy the movie, and sat back, allowing Dodge and Penny to carry me along on their adventures.
There were a couple of real surprises along the way, which I won't reveal.
Throughout this movie, I just knew, I mean I simply was convinced that a last minute plan would push the Earth destroying asteroid off it's path toward Earth.
I just knew that Dodge and Penny had found their forever loves and would find their forever after.
The end of the movie for me was startling. I found myself wrapped deeply into Dodge and Penny and what their future together would bring, such as babies, a new profession for Dodge, a cute little suburban house, and Penny's family sitting in the backyard with her Mum and Dad cuddling their grandchildren. Penny was holding her newborn niece that was named after her. The entire Penny Clan had crossed The Pond and filled the backyard and cute little suburban home with love and laughter.
Dodge was finally fully fledged into a quiet, well grounded, very committed, gentle, deeply caring partner.
I blinked right along with Penny.
The end of the movie brought tears to my eyes and a definite feeling of, 'NO! I want a re-write! I want a do-over!' I watched this movie last night, 6/25, and writing this silly little review has brought a veil of sadness once again.
Please don't let the beginning of this movie put you off. It begins slowly, but Dodge, Penny, and the gentle nuances of the underlying story line will absolutely be captivating.
The reality is 95% of the movie coasts along with some pretty funny moments and some moments that may even have you reflecting on your own personal life.
Then the last 10 minutes of the movie hits and I believe that's where I came to absolutely love it and was even actually blown away.
After the movie was over we were still discussing it an hour later because it had us thinking so much. Steve Carell and Kiera Knightly were so freaking good and were so believable in their roles. In closing, this movie has a little bit of everything and that's why I gave it 5 stars! Loved it!
The story is about 2 average everyday neighbors who never noticed each other; Dodge (Steve Carrell) and Penny (Keira Knightley). They happen to cross paths just before the apocalypse & find that they really hit it off. They're a bit of an odd couple as Dodge is old enough to be Penny's father, but who cares? It is, after all, the end of the world!!
They embark on an adventure where they meet a great many eccentric people; from riots to "free love" from the 1960s, the end brings about the best & worst of humanity. The movie is filled with a lot of fun cameos by big name thespians whom you're not expecting to see.
Ultimately this movie for me was a cross between DEEP IMPACT and LOST IN TRANSLATION. Kind of an odd hybrid, right? Well, on that point you are correct, but somehow it works. When the end is near, all that is left to do is to be human.....love well.....and laugh. Enjoy the apocalypse!!
Top reviews from other countries
As a film, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World [DVD ] is difficult to classify. Is it a spoof apocolypse movie, or a romantic comedy? It certainly has elements of both genres, and the combination seems to work to a certain extent.
I went to see this film at the Odeon in Leicester in July. While I would not rate it as the movie of the year, it's still quite entertaining and worth seeing again if you're at a loose end. Especially if you're a fan of either Steve Carell or Keira Knightley.
Worth a watch.
Not your typical Steve Carell movie.
