Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)



As an asteroid nears Earth, a man finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic, decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart and is accompanied by a neighbor who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan.

Unusual doomsday comedy-romance has some moments, and the two leads do their best, but it somehow doesn't add up to a whole.

Maltin**1/2: "Neither serious sci-fi nor credible drama, this offbeat comedy-drama focuses on two square pegs who find they have something in common. How much you buy into it will depend on your fondness for the likable stars."
