    Not quite what I thought it'd be, but still fun.

    by MovieAddict48

    I enjoyed this, even though it wasn't quite what I thought it'd be. I was expecting purely a dark comedy, but there is some serious, thought-provoking content centered around the idea of how a person would want to spend his/her last days. I thought Steve Carell and Keira Knightley had good chemistry, especially given their age difference. The first 20 minutes or so are kind of a drag; there's some dialogue that I guess was intended to be funny, but just sounded very forced (there's one dinner scene in particular that is just painful to watch). But once Knightley's character is introduced, the story picks up nicely. All in all, this movie probably isn't for everyone, and you might need to be in a certain mood, but if you don't mind a quirky form of dark...dramady, it's well worth your time and money. It's definitely one of the most unique films I've seen in a while, and while I do love the annual dose of superhero movies, it's nice to watch a summer flick containing themes much simpler.

    SeekingFriendEndWorld

    by Airmansx

    I chuckled, I cried, it was mostly boring and kinda slow. The characters were off for the most part. Frenzies was stupid in a goofball way i liked. It tried to pack to much in and got very little out. It kinda sucked. Probably cause it hit home. haha

    by ekvegas

    What do you do when the end is confirmed? For some, go off the deep end, but this movie is for the rest of us. And just for the record when the world stops, sweetie snuggums of nearly 30 years, I'lll melt with you.

    Horrible ending!

    by

    This movie was listed as a comedy. I didn't laugh that much. The ending was horrible. I don't ever expect that in a comedy everyone will die!

    I'd give it a C

    by amathonn

    Good enough so you don't want to get up and leave, but not much more than that. Acting pretty good. Quirky story. Wait until it comes out on video.

    Good concept, movie not so much

    by whukadog

    Whenever I see people carrying signs that "the end is near" I think "I hope not". Sitting through this movie I found myself thinking "just get it over with already.". A story about lost opportunities - sadly that describes the execution of this movie.

    Seeking a Friend at the End of the World

    by Prof7749

    Seeking a friend at the end of the world is a marvelous movie. Steve Carrell plays the role of a detached man as only he could. Kiera Knightly is also great. The scene of her on a satellite phone allows her to display her acting talents. The movie is funny and sad and really honest.

    by sweetsillyluna

    I thought this was a really great movie! As always Steve Carell never disappoints. It was a bit of a slower moving movie, so if you like lots of action it might not be your cup of tea. I'm glad that they ended it the way they did, even it if was sad.

    Surprisingly good movie

    by NYPerson1

    Much more complicated and ambitious than I expected. The movie is wildly uneven, but when it works, it's something pretty special

    Subtle romance

    by

    What opens as a slapstick comedy film blossoms into a heart-felt romance tale, during apocalypse. Don't go expecting to burst with laughter; go to see a film that warms the soul.

    A Comedic Drama filled with Tragic Bliss

    by ceichho

    This movie had me enthralled almost all the way through, constantly spiraling the emotions of happiness and sadness in this wonderful apocalyptic drama. It had the perfect combination of warm moments, dry humor, and a slow, subtle yet powerful romance, that had me captivated during the length of the movie. It depicts what different characters strive for in their last days on earth, and provides quiet moments that let the emotions they are experiencing truly sink into the audience. The way Carell and Knightley were able to portray their characters' emotions allowed the viewer to truly look into the emotional roller coaster an individual might experience knowing their fate was sealed. The way the movie ended was so powerful that I struggled to both hold back tears and to find the strength to leave the theater while the credits were rolling. A powerful, albeit dark look into the final moments of a blossoming true romance in the end of days.

    Interesting But Could Have Been Much Better

    by rlrobbins

    End of the world movies always have the potential to be powerful and thought-provoking. After all, we all live with the "end of the world" (for us) looming. This one had some funny and some thoughtful moments. Much was moving -- the deisre to connect with friends and family, the temptation to go wild, people acting fundamentally good and others fundamentally bad in times of crises, scenes of parents with children. My major problem with the movie was what seemed to be a complete lack of chemistry between the two leads, and a romance that did not ring true. Steve Carell seemed to go abruptly from uninterested to madly in love. Too pat and too uncredible. Nothing like him and Tina Fey in Date Night where the connection was natural and obvious. And these are two terrific actors.

    All in all, a decent movie but one which had far more potential to be great.

    To put it lightly the only way I would subject myself to this awful movie again is if I had to pick between it and being forced to swim across the Amazon wounded from gunshots while trying to fend off piranhas. This movie is in fact so depressing that any activity you commence after watching it will just be shot completely down. In fact if you plan on watching this movie just don't. Please. For your own sake. Poorly written and just lame. I mean disabled pigeons aren't even this lame.

    Seeking a friend

    by Aarteacher

    One of the worst movies ever!!!!
    Really good if you need a nap!
    NOT at all funny, unless you think that a girl urinating in a cup
    and throwing it into another girl's face is funny!
    Sick
    boring

    World could not end soon enough

    by EddieMac87

    I wanted to like this movie. I tried to find redeeming value. There is some, but very little. With the world soon coming to an end the characters race against a ticking clock. But the pace of the movie is so slow. There is no sense of urgency in the film, the characters drag along as if they have all the time in the world to do their last wishes. The characters are uninteresting, the relationships make no sense, time frame is all over the place. Wait for the home release of this film then see it if you have nothing else to do. Go in with low expectations.
