Despite its rather bulky title, Lorene Scafaria's Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is more than just the typical big budget thriller about a coming apocalypse, since it's more about how different people react to learning that an asteroid is heading our way which will destroy the earth in three weeks.
Specifically, it's about insurance salesman Dodge Petersen (Steve Carell), who is still going about his day-to-day life after his wife left him. An encounter with his flaky neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley) sends the two of them on a cross-country journey to find Dodge's high school sweetheart who has written him a letter wanting to see him again.
Those expecting something like what we've seen from monster budget FX-meisters like Roland Emmerich and Michael Bay may be...
