It's funny how much smack this movie got because, frankly, Seeking a friend for the end of the world has a lot of very compelling and thought provoking questions plus being a very fun movie. For instance, what "would you" do if we all knew the world was ending for sure? If there was NO WAY for escape and we were all doomed, how would YOU spend your last weeks, days, hours etc. ? What would you do. It's a tough question if you really think about it. Kind of question you'd ask someoneon a blind date. But for poor Dodge (Played by the famous and fantastic Steve Carell) spending his last days was a question he'd rather just not answer. As we follow Dodge in his boring last days, fate would have it, that he runs into fun, spunky, out going, dangerous and a little bi-polar, Penny. Penny sells the movie. She makes it interesting and worth seeing. She adds something to the movie we were half heartingly expecting but didn't realize she was truly a loving and caring person who complements most people. Keira Knightley (Penny) makes this movie believable. Although the director, Lorene Scafaria, is known for practically nothing, she pulls off a grand show with lots of heart and plenty of fun. So what would you do? Find something new or stay the way everyone knows you. Would you be comfortable or go outside your comfort zone for the first and last time ever? 7 out of 10 on this funny piece of work. Worth a watch on the weekend. Recommend to adults not teens or kids.
