“Scafaria and her two likeable leads have made a witty, warm-hearted and impressively original addition to the rom-com ranks.”~Hollywood Reporter

Aroview: Unlikely partners Steve Carell and Keira Knightley gravitate towards each another as the end of the world approaches in this most unusual romantic-comedy.

Awkwardly shifting between modes of depression and comic relief, the film eventually settles for the earnest tone of a May-December romance. Knightley is once again miscast, but for a doomsday narrative (amongst many others), this odd experiment in uplift through despair proves strangely satisfying, at least as a point of difference from the rest of the pack.
