Description:
SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD – 1 hr 40 min – R. Don’t miss this first local theatrical showing of this movie that was deemed too quirky for mainstream audiences. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World stars Steve Carell and Keira Knightley in this witty romantic comedy that explores what people will do when humanity's last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Carell), whose wife bolts, and Penny (Knightley), whose boy friend is a jerk, converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks brighten. Meanwhile writer/director Lorene Scafaria paints a provocative and often hilarious scenario based on the question: what-would-you-do-if-you-knew-the-world-ends-in-21-days? Surprises await you. “Moviegoers who don’t mind a little astringency in their romantic comedies will be glad they made the journey.” –Kevin Lally, Film Journal International. “After so many hellish apocalypse movies, Seeking a Friend is intelligent, dignified and emotionally satisfying.” –Rex Reed, N.Y. Observer.
