It's offbeat and cynical to a degree; when crap happens we can't do anything about, at least we all have each other. On the flip side its comedy is as black as asphalt; for example, with the impending destruction of the world, people are given uncomfortably hilarious options for checking out early, like hiring a personal assassin to pick you off at an undisclosed time.

Like Scafaria's screenplay for "Nick and Norah," "Seeking a Friend" is a journey film with a decent blend of comedy and drama. It takes the end of the world for strangers Dodge and Penny to find each other and once they do they embark on a road trip to tie off loose ends; Dodge seeks out his high school girlfriend while Penny is desperate to get to an airplane to return to her family in England. Along the way the two meet various groups of quirky characters that help Dodge and Penny open their eyes as well as their hearts.
