I am very disappointed that more people haven't seen this movie. It is simply beautiful and moving in so many ways, and I for one thoroughly enjoyed it. It doesn't loose its potency after multiple viewings. It is a comedy, an it definitely has funny moments, but the romance and drama in the film take center stage quite early on. The relationship between Dodge and Penny, the two romantic leads, as well as the relationship between Dodge and his father, and the other relationships between characters, are compelling and relate-able, which is I think the best thing about this movie. We can all see ourselves, and how we might react in an Apocalyptic scenario.

I loved this movie. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is one of the most criminally overlooked films of 2012. The chemistry between Carell and Knightley is really special here; they both give great performances and carry the film wonderfully. Under the direction and writing of Lorene Scafaria, this film manages to make you smile and laugh, but it also breaks your heart. The film builds perfectly to a devastating (abrupt) ending, but it's fully satisfying all the while. I cannot recommend this film enough.

I really seem to enjoy Steve Carell movies. His standard woh-me character is still enjoyable to watch, so I could totally enjoy this movie, and I did. I thought it was fun and creative. Keira Knightley was a lot of fun to watch. She didn't over-do her character which could have been very easy to do. Their chemistry strangely worked besides the large age difference. I also liked that the ending did go with ending the world instead of some miraculous turn of events. A decent movie I could find myself watching again.

The story takes a refreshingly new route on the 'coming apocalypse' idea. It manages to convey many of the emotions that one would expect to have in this type of situation. Smartly written, very funny and bittersweet.

This movie was funny, serious, and damn good. All the things you would expect in a Steve Carell movie.
