Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Michael Ledo Steve Carell revives his dead pan character and teams up with Keira Knightley who creates a character with emotional baggage. They are Dodge and Penny who live in the same apartment complex but who have never met...until they both experience break ups. A meteor named Matilda is headed toward earth, one that even Bruce Willis can not destroy. It will be the end of the world. As the countdown continues, people react differently. There are suicides and hedonism...kids drinking, people doing drugs, and riots. There are those that still live simply.Much of the film is consumed by Dodge and Penny traveling to Delaware so he can visit his high school sweetheart one last time. The film is basically a romantic comedy with some hit and miss moments. More enkoyable than many of the other end of the world films that have come out over the last few years.Parental Guide: F-bomb, implied sex, no nudity. Drug use. Underage drinking encouraged by adults.

jpetrie-2 There is almost nothing interesting or engaging about this movie. It's a little dark and a little funny at times, but it's one of the least funny comedies I've seen. Even worse, though, is that it's completely unromantic. It's okay for a romantic comedy to be not very funny if it's romantic, but there is virtually no romance here. I didn't believe for a second that any characters fell in love during this movie. I saw no evidence of it, and the supposedly romantic scenes made me feel nothing.I think the main problem is that this movie tries to be three different things -- funny, romantic, and dark -- and it ends up being not much of any one of them. It's surely hard making a comedy or a romance set during the end of the world, so it shouldn't have been too dark; I think the level of darkness would have been fine if the comedy or the romance had been much stronger.One bright spot was that Steve Carell was fine. I like him in some things and not in others (mainly I dislike his awkward, cringey humor), and he basically plies his normal schtick here. He does a good job of it and it's the right schtick for this movie.

P.uncia The plot gives room for thinking and pondering, how would it look like, the end of the world...but I don't need this movie to imagine it. The main characters are miscast to say the least, and the film fails to be funny, and it fails at being romantic. It even fails at being dark. Dodge is the daft loser, and Penny is the goofy screw up. Dodge hates small talk and/or conversations, but eventually they have long, boring conversations about how their lives were before. I kept longing for the red wine they had, and just tuned out. I guess I didn't even expect Dodge and Penny to hook up. It's fine with an unusual couple, but come on! They had no chemistry, and I thought it was both unlikely and a bit gross.

garciajake Going into this movie I wasn't expecting much, thought it would be some raunchy comedy but wow was I wrong.It started out seeming like it would be just a basic comedy after meeting all the actors and actresses that usually are in comedy movies. But as soon as Keira Knightley becomes the focus, it really ventures out to a more meaningful yet still funny type movie that I really did enjoy a lot. Steve Carell did a great job, he really did convince me on his character and was cast perfectly for this role, but Keira Knightley WOW I'm in love (honestly what is not to love about Keira Knightley). All of her scenes were fantastic, here funny scenes actually had me laughing out loud at some points, and her more dramatic scenes really brought some tears to my eyes. I loved this movie, its funny and meaningful at the same time and I would rate it a 10 out of 10 any day. Should've gotten a higher rating than it did, at the very least in the 7's.
