The last 10 minutes were touching and emotional. The rest was boring. I wasn't sure what type of movie this was supposed to be. Not real funny, not especially heart tugging. Acting was fine, just not much substanance.
Cons slow

85 percent of what you saw in the previews, you will see in the first 10 minutes of the film. From there you dive into the characters. Its a comedy but with a drama undertone that hits the right notes. Makes you think about yourself and your life and what would you do and at the same time enjoying the experience Penny and Dodge are having. The ending comes too soon and you want to scream with anger that it had to end that way because you want to see more of the main characters but it could have not ended any other way. I stayed in the theater through the credits hoping to see more but it couldn't be had. I will not give the ending away because its the type of ending you must not be told but must see.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

My wife and I had higher expectations for this movie, which most definitely dragged at times, so much so that she fell asleep for a while in the middle. The plot line had much greater possibilities that could have been explored and the relationship between the two main characters could have been developed a bit faster as the end was indeed near. That being said, those two were very good in their roles and the part nearing the end was poignant and emotional. By the way, where was the cute little dog in the last few moments, he should have been in bed with them?! Perhaps a twist of a last minute "save" by some nuclear missles or a just a touch off scientist calculation may have had viewers going home in a better mood.......

Steve Carell and Keira Knightley step out of character for this unusual light love story that could only happen if the world were to end. Unlike every other apocolyptic film, this one has a sense of humor and sees the irony in life and how we settle for choices from fear of being left alone only to be left alone. Its not another commercial comedy, its intellectual candy and quite sweet. Its quiet subtle quality may not be what some will expect, but its an interesting story of how two unlikely people could live across a hall and never meet until something dramatic would become the catalyst that reboots their lives and makes the improbable probable. Watch for Carell's wife at the start of the film...its his wife in real life! And watch for the small part with the actor who plays his dad.

'Seeking a friend...' delivers a powerful moral message about what truly matters in life by mocking what isn't and while not taking itself too seriously. However farfetched the scenario it succeeds in putting the viewer in the position of coping with the imminent demise of life as we know it.
Pros great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Wow, were we disappointed! First of all, the previews were better. The movie was slow. The plot was nil....it was 1/2 a movie! If we had three weeks to live, I am so sure we would have NOT gone into work! We were so sad since we had much higher expectations with Steve Carell. It was not funny, so we aren't sure why it's listed as a comedy. Don't bother to go see this one....we suffered for you!
Cons slow, horrible plot
No, I do not recommend this movie.

They call it a comedy... there is some comedy, but it's hard to REALLY believe it is, with the constant reminder that the world is ending in such/such hours. A lot of panic, feelings of what if, and anything goes is what the characters display. Which i guess? is what it would be if it were real. Far as the actors/acting, there really wasn't much of a stretch to act, i don't think. I just didn't get much from it, would have rather i didn't waste my money on the ticket. :(
Cons too complex, slow
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Being a fan of Keira Knightley (not necessarily Steve Carell), I was looking forward to this film. I was quite disappointed with the film as a whole and with Ms Knightley's performance in particular.
Cons bad acting
No, I do not recommend this movie.
