Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a surprisingly well working mix of comedy, romance and drama set at the brink of the ultimate apocalypse moment of mankind, or, well, the Earth meets some nasty asteroid - again. Anyway, the movie provides some fun ideas and moments, plus a great melancholic shot too, and, last but not least, some lost souls finding each other, which is a very predictable plot move but still heart-warming because Steve Carell and Keira Knightley give us a fine performance. The movie reminds me - no surprise - of Melancholia (Lars von Trier) but is far more on the romantic and comedy side. What else? No Oscar material but nice entertainment plus some emotional moments.
