It's like someone saw "Melancholia" and decided to remake it without any of the quality. Riots and traffic happen when they're needed for the story then disappear when they're inconvenient. A character's small plane can apparently fly anywhere despite all airports being shut down, among other ridiculous problems. The romance has zero chemistry and the end of the world approaching mostly looks a lot like any day.

3 1/2 out of 5 stars. Seeking a Friend For the End of the World seemed like it was going to be a forced little indie comedy I'd have to force myself through but I was really surprised. Despite not really loving any of the characters, it made me laugh and it knew how to tug at the old heart strings. I loved the lack of a bullshit ending and the soundtrack was brilliant. A nice take on the apocalypse.
