Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World

     Lorene Scafaria makes her directorial debut with this movie. She also wrote it. Steve Carell and Kiera Knightly star in this dark comedy about the last few weeks on Earth before a meteor collides and takes us out. Carell is seeking out a high school flame and Knightly is his neighbor who tags along for the ride on the off chance he can find her a plane to get home.
     I was impressed with the fact that they didn't wimp out on the ending because that's important with a story like this. Granted, they set up a really cool scene and then went back on itself but you can pretty much forgive it. It's in theaters now and if you ca make it, go. This will probably be the best movie you see until mid July.
