This is a "heavy" movie (dealing with the concept of the end of the world after all!) that is thought provoking, yet funny and light hearted at times, intertwined with a beautiful love story. It is a very refreshing and unpredictable movie. Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are terrific in their roles. Do not go see this movie if you are seeking pure light-hearted comedy fare. This is only for the serious at heart...
Pros great story, great actors, unpredictable
Cons slow

Very moving story. You MUST stay till the end. Anyone who leaves within the first 30 minutes completely misses the point and depth of the movie. The characters develop along with the story. Good casting. The genre states "comedy," however, there is so much more than a comedic statement here. Steve Carell's personality and acting style are perfect for this roll although his character is compassionate, sensitive, kind, and genuinely self-less. This was quite a surprise for us. It certainly helps you put things in perspective. Interesting to see how people choose to face their end.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Rarely has the apocalypse seemed so sweet....the film, in the end, makes a far more pronounced impact on the viewer than one might've reasonably expected. A movie that may be, in its own small, weird way, the most bizarrely bittersweet and oddly beautiful romance you've seen in quite awhile. If you give yourself over to its 'what if' premise, it turns out to be funny and moving and thought-provoking. Cynics need not apply.
Pros great story, great actors
