Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

This rater is somewhat disappointed with Carell's choices in movies lately. Gone are the days of quality comedies such as 40 Year old Virgin and Bruce Almighty. The line that symbolizes the whole picture - Penny: "So, what are you doing with the rest of your life?" Dodge Petersen (Steve Carell) and his wife Linda listen to the radio. He accidentally meets neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley) and go off to an adventure to look for Olivia. Starts off strong but fizzles towards the constant conversations which bores the film. Soundtrack was alright and screenplay nice. This reviewer feels that Carell should selects his scripts, though he and Knightley did a good job. Had some cheesy moments and a lousy conclusion. This could have been funnier and with a better pace. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a movie about valuing your life and loved ones.
