Starring: Steve Carell and Keira Knightley Directed by and Screenplay by: Lorene Scafaria It's a countdown to the end of days. Haven't we seen this before? An asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, giving everyone on Earth three weeks to live before the strike ends civilization. Dodge Peterson (Steve Carell) is a man whose wife has just left him with the news of the incoming doom and now must spend the rest of his three weeks alone, unless he can find someone to spend time with before the end of the world. So say hello to Penny (Keira Knightley), a young woman who is in a similar situation. She's dealing with a break-up when she meets Dodge. Will this friendship remain simply a friendship until everyone's untimely conclusion, or will there be something more to this relationship until then? Firstly, if you thought this film was going to be a comedy and nobody has told you otherwise...
