Seeking A Friend For the End of the World

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, is a good movie with good acting. While it is advertised as a comedy, it is not. Instead Seeking a Friend is an intelligent and surprisingly moving story of two emotionally damaged people and the healing they receive by being in each other's lives. Yes, it's set against the backdrop of an asteroid's impending collision with Earth, but that doesn't mean that the film is depressing. If anything, it reaffirms the value of life and instills the belief that the simple act of being kind and making someone happy gives us meaning. What else can you ask for in a movie especially on that stars one of my favorite actresses, Keira Knightley?
