I nice concept but a mismatched pairing and KK doesn't sound like any English person I've ever met. Anyway, here's my take on it http://noisypictures.co.uk/films/seeking-a-friend-for-the-end-of-the-world

Although the tone shifts a little too dramatically a couple times, the movie's charm and dark humor won me over, plus Steve Carell and Knightley actually surprised me by having some great chemistry. Carell really can do the sad-sack character well.

One thing I was disappointed with was the music, especially considering this movie was from the creator of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist which is about as good as it gets when it comes to tunes. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by The Beach Boys of course is awesome but has been used countless times already, so really the only song I was really thrilled with was "Sex Tourists" by French Kicks which ***SPOILER ALERT*** is the song that plays right when Dodge + Penny drive off after having sex. I was expecting more great under-the-radar tunes like this, but the movie was still good and I love French Kicks so much that their inclusion was almost enough to make up for it.

"Icky" couple? How old are you? 12?

I didn't mind reading the whole thing, I usually skim and get the good stuff but it was relatively all good. Looking forward to read more from you Drew.

I wanted this to be the quirky comedy of 2012 but I guess not…
