Just End Already

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is an inconsistent, slow moving, and emotionally stale film that feels more like a dull romantic comedy than a drama. Director Lorene Scafaria tediously crafts a comedy/drama that fails at being both a comedy and a drama, mostly because the relationship between Carell's character and Knightley's character wasn't as interesting or compelling as it should have been. It has some decent laughs, but ultimately falls pretty flat. I didn't really care where the relationship between these two characters went as the world was coming to an end. To be honest, about fifty minutes into the movie I wanted the world to end already. Seeking a Friend is a mostly innocent film that might be worth a rental if you like the actors, but with a premise like this it could have been done so much better with a much more compelling script.
