Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star in the comedy "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," which marks the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria ("Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist"). Set in a too-near future, the movie explores what people will do when humanity's last days are at hand. As the respective journeys of Dodge (Carell) and Penny (Knightley) converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world's – brighten.
