Steve Carrell, Keira Knightly
Odd little film with a confused and confusing tone. The end of the world is coming in three weeks...what would you do? SC's wife runs screaming from their car when hearing the news which places the film in la-la land. But he meets his neighbor and we settle into a standard rom-com type story but with tragic undertones.
Carrell seriously underplays his character, Knightly is standard movie-reality kooky, adorable female. For reasons I can't understand I stayed with it to the end even though the arc of the 'story' was obvious as soon as she showed up. So it worked, sort of. Compared to other end-of-the-world scenarios (eg Last Night) this was decidedly lightweight and unfulfilling...but not quite junk.
