Really liked this one. Great acting, and the main characters had good chemistry. Despite the obviously 'dark' setting of the end of the world, it was still sweet to see the characters connect and fall in love. The scene with the estranged father was good too. I also like how the ending didn't 'wimp out'.

This is a satire people! I can't believe people miss that when they serve kiddies adult beverages. It's not a "ha ha" comedy but a less serious than an action movie portrayal of what people might do. Could it happen? Who cares, that's not the point. The HR scene is classic. "Now who, would like to be Chief Operating Officer?"

I enjoyed this chick flick more than I was expecting to. Keira Knightley (whom I wouldn't refuse as an apocalyptic companion, or anything, for that matter) laid the melodrama on a trifle thick, and the pairing of she and Carell was unthinkable realistically, but the writer/director touched on several tender and sensitive issues that hit home for me (the details of which the bibliocommons community needn't be bored with). Steve Carell is just a likeable everyman/schmuck no matter how bad the material. It's gotta be that blank smirky expression. I found "Friendsy's" amusing. (Creepy, but amusing). And The Hollies' chestnut: "The Air That I Breathe" was just spot-on. Mesmerizing.

As far as comedic value goes, the scene with the bearded ex-boyfriend was hilarious. Outside of that, actual comedy was severely lacking. I do however enjoy the premise, despite the predictable scenarios and several cliched lines.

Sort of an awkward rom-com, but mostly a romantic drama. Throw in a world killing asteroid and I had to give this one an above average grade. I didn't really buy into the chemistry between Knightly and Carell, but the movie was interesting and strange enough to hold my interest (which is unusual for the genre). Not really funny so much as odd.

It is advertised as a comedy but it is a romance movie with about 2 minutes of funny.

Steve Carrell can be my friend at the end of the world any time. Since I'm more used to his crazier Daily Show and Office personalities, it's nice to see him in a more subtle, subdued role. The comedy shines through even more. As for the rest of the movie, I was prepared to be very depressed by it, and actually left it in a good mood. I thought it did a good job of glimpsing into how different people would handle a world that was going to end in three weeks. There's all sorts here: partiers, rioters, last-chancers, survivalists, baptists, people who are too scared to wait, and people who just carry on like normal. The two main characters kind of weave in and out of these groups, and find a place for themselves that seems to inevitably fit. This movie made me think a bit about my own time here, and it also made me think about getting a record player. Great use of that "Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe" song.

Saw this because I'd heard positive reviews from others, but I could not get past the overall plot -- one too depressing to think about....the end of the world. My wife and I had a hard time believing most people would adopt a "Sodom and Gomorrah" approach to the rest of their brief lives (married people exchanging sex partrners and adults teaching young children to drink alcohol). The only calming scene was the seaside line for baptisms. The screenwriter seemed to have so little faith or trust in humanity. Also couldn't believe the glaring mistake in the movie -- a Piper Cub-type plane takes off for a transatlantic journey over the Atlantic -- and it wasn't meant to be a suicide mission. C'mon an itty-bitty plane like that is not going to reach England from the East Coast of America. I'd say skip this movie and you'll have retrieved a little over 1 and 1/2 hours to watch a much better movie.

I couldn't even watch the entire movie and Keira Knightly is my girl. I very rarely turn off halfway but this was just horribly boring though I tried to enjoy.

Harmless, slightly amusing but mostly just sits there and doesn't go anywhere.
