Released in 2012 and directed by Lorene Scafaria, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is a quirky take on doomsday. With an asteroid hurtling toward Earth, Dodge (Steve Carell), a lonely insurance salesman, teams up with Penny (Keira Knightley), his free-spirited neighbor, to fulfill his last wishes. Along the way, chaos meets comedy. The movie, made on a $10 million budget, charmed some while puzzling others with its bittersweet tone and unique vibe.
