I decided to watch this because I liked the title. Had I known that Keira Knightly was in it I might have chosen something else. I wish I had chosen something else.I would formally like to state to all other nations that not all English women talk like Keira Knightly. Not many people in the UK actually talk like that at all. It is really really annoying so I'm glad that we don't.I got a bit excited right towards the end when Steve Carell was going through Knightly's characters record collection and he flicked past Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs. I was hoping to just hear one track from it to take my mind off this dull, rather pointless film, but alas, it didn't happen. You just get to hear loads of Scott Walker.

The beauty of a movie like "Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World" is that it can go in so many different directions. It could be a high drama, a comedy, an adventure romp, or any number of different scenarios. What is required, however, is a little bit of focus to make sure that the right area (or blend of areas) is present in order to make sure that the characters and setting do not get "lost in the shuffle". Unfortunately, "Seeking" lacks such focus.For a basic plot summary, this movie is set in a future American where the world is going to inevitably be destroyed by a very large meteor. After being dumped by his wife after hearing the news, Dodge (Steve Carell) is lost in life and decides to go visit his "first love" that got away. Before he can do so, however, he meets Penny (Keira Knightley), who throws a major kink (for better or worse) in his plans as the clock continues ticking towards doomsday.While "Seeking" has great potential to be a solid film, it ends up failing because of its complete lack of focus. Director Lorene Scafaria doesn't seem to know what kind of movie she wants to make here, and as a result any potential "good stuff" is lost in the shuffle. For example...-The "elephant in the room" (the end of the world) isn't taken all that seriously and works better as a comedic bit than anything substantial in terms of drama. -It could work as a comedy, but Carell is given such conflicting material that his character comes off as a mix of boorish and pathetic (e.g. nothing all that funny). -The movie could have even worked strictly as a character drama, if not for the total unbelievability of the Carell/Knightley pairing and the fact that the first half (if not two-thirds) of the picture fritters away any chance of meaningful character development.Basically, "Seeking" is the kind of movie you get when you try to be too "artsy" and don't solidify your focus. The casting choice of Knightley (queen of the "artsy" movies) only solidifies this line of thinking. If you are looking for anything near Carell's earlier "Crazy Stupid Love" in terms of a mesh of comedy/drama/emotion, you won't find it here.

I really liked this movie! It is warm, comforting, wondrous, strange and uplifting. At first I found it a bit boring, but then I started to like it. The calm of the man in the main lead is very comforting. Maybe when you know the end is coming, when you know it will soon be over, there is real purpose and meaning and peace? In the midst of the total tragedy that is the ending of the world from a meteor impact, it seems like the people in the movie have come together in some way or another, or come to terms with themselves. I really like the feeling of tranquility that the movie has, in the face of doom. It is totally beautiful! The film is also funny, in a sometimes understated way, other times more explicit. The scene in the Friendsy's restaurant comes to mind. I liked the male lead more and more. The same with the female. I started caring for her, and in the end scene, everything comes together in a very touching and special moment. I am grateful for having found this gem of a movie!

I would've given this movie a 5 star rating if they would've had the dog with them in the bed while the world was ending. But instead they played with each other's hair and talked about dumb shat. Dogs before thots.I would've given this movie a 5 star rating if they would've had the dog with them in the bed while the world was ending.
