Boasting an impressive cast of recognisable stars headed by the hilarious Steve Carell (Get Smart and 40 Year Old Virgin) and the beautiful Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean), with support from a host of familiar and talented faces including the likes of Adam Brody (Jennifer's Body) and Rob Corddry (What Happens in Vegas) this film is a heart-warming, surprisingly moving and frequently hilarious comedy.
As a asteroid nears Earth, we join insurance salesman Dodge (Carell) who, after his recent split from his wife, comes across a letter from his high-school sweetheart. Dodge decides to seize however many days they have left and embark on a quest to find his long lost love. However, he didn't count on the 'girl next door' Penny (Knightley) crying at his window as the reality hits that she will never see her family again. Together the two embark on road trip to end their lives happy with the people they love. Filled with laughs and moments of tenderness, Penny and Dodge on the verge of death may well have already found what their looking for.
*Even though it's about the end of the world, the movie manages to deliver an unabashedly hopeful story about two ordinary people who meet death by making new human connections*

*Somewhere inside Seeking a Friend for the End of the World there is a tighter, more disciplined film about seizing the day and the pursuit of happiness*
