What would you do if there were only three weeks left in the world? Would you lose all your inhibitions? Rob a bank? Seek out your soul mate? Eat every bag of Skittles left in town? 

In the unconventional and very funny "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," charismatic Steve Carell and Keira Knightley find an enchanting calm before the final storm.   

This isn't your typical apocalypse movie. There are no killer robots or zombies. The bleakness of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" is gone, replaced by the hopefulness and vitality of Carell and Knightley's charming relationship. "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" is more a budding flower among the hordes of bleak and explosive sci-fi apocalyptic movies of late.

Writer Lorene Scafaria's ("Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist") directorial debut is a bold and clever romantic comedy. It's an apocalypse movie, a road trip movie and a romantic comedy all in one.
