This is a movie I've been wanting to see for a while. It had always intrigued me, this idea of Keira Knightley and Steve Carell playing opposite of each other. It is obviously not the most obvious pick. But that, strangely, ends up being the best part about it.
You see, the whole premise of the movie is basically as follows:
- There's only 3 weeks left on Earth until the apocalypse
- Dodge's (Steve Carell) wife leaves him
- ...because the world's ending.
- Penny (Keira Knightley) can't see her family in England because all air traffic has been shut down
- ...because the world's ending.
- They team up together to find Dodge's long lost love
- ...because the world's ending.
Now I'm not going to spoil the ending for you because the ending is the best part about it. It's heart wrenching and sad, but it's also heart warming and a weird kind of happy. And while it's definitely not one of the best movies I've seen, the ending makes the okay middle parts worth it.
So check out Seeking a Friend for the End of the World before the worlds ends!
Was that too cheesy?
Probably, but that's okay.
