Seeking A Friend for the End of the World - Blah!

I saw this movie last night, and it was perhaps one of the worst movies I have seen.

After numerous failed attempts to divert a head on collision with an asteroid heading straight for our destruction - we all have 2 weeks to live.

The story starts with Steve Carell (Dodge) and his wife listening to the news of our destruction and his wife just opens the door and runs away......no words, no attempts by Dodge to get his wife back.

The story line is something we can all get thinking about and this makes a good connection with the movie. We can see how different people interact/react when the end of the world draws near - riots, suicides, reminiscing about lost love, loved ones, one's dreams and ambitions etc.

For Dodge - it was to find the "love of his life" from his days as a teenager, but during the process meets and falls for Penny (Keira Knightley). This is where the story falls short and lacks intimacy. The chemistry between Dodge and Penny is completely absent, and not convincing.

Also, they don't seem to match as a couple on screen......Penny carries around her vintage Vinyl albums with her throughout the story (something I can totally relate to!), but the music in the movie was "annoying" to say the least....it simply did not fit into the "mood" of the scene it was played in....

I just couldn't relate to either character....maybe Dodge a bit more...but I related more to the concept than the story line. At the end of this movie - I was like "Thank goodness"....

Anyway peeps - sorry for my harsh review - but don't take my word for it....
