 Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World
In Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Steve Carell plays Dodge (note the name), a man who has gone through life as an emotionally-stunted cynic – which makes the announcement that the world is literally coming to end (due to an oncoming asteroid) quite an inconvenient event. Before Dodge can even process the doomsday proclamation, his wife Linda (played by Carell's real-life wife, Nancy) runs off to spend her last days with the man she actually loves. Left alone and heartbroken, Dodge fears that his own last days will be as much a waste as the rest of his life apparently was. Fate intervenes when downstairs neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley) appears on Dodge's fire escape in tears, lamenting her most recent break-up and the fact that she will also meet her end alone, so far away from her family back in England. With anarchy and rioting headed their way, Dodge and Penny make a pact: Penny will drive Dodge to see his unrequited true love one last time, and Dodge will hook Penny up with a pilot to fly her home. But, as always, the journey to a desired destination veers into some unexpected detours of the heart and soul.
