Movie Reviews

• one of the nerviest dramas of the season can be mistaken for a soft, sentimental story

  Review rate : B+ by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]

• it's as life-affirming as an extinction event film can be

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• despite a variety of saves from little treats that come through the supporting cast, we're left with the feeling the end may be near, but not near enough

  by Linda Barnard [Toronto Star ]

• Carell and Knightley give it their bittersweet best. But I never rooted for them as a couple, never felt a chemistry in their bond

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• an unusual film, resistant to the usual end-of-mankind cliches. The script is full of surprises

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• after 100 minutes of gallows humor and surprise left turns, Seeking a Friend leaves us with a disappointingly banal observation

  by Stephen Dalton [Hollywood Reporter ]

• achieves the colorless tedium of a safe, dozy dream of catastrophe instead of anything like the real deal
