Synopsis: While a meteor is about the destroy all life on Earth, Dodge (Carell) whose wife recently left will team-up with the strange girl Penny (Knighley) to reach their destination.
Review: The background story is set in the first minute of the movie: everybody will die in 10 days. People started to expect it, and we see how they choose to live it, from the most organized to desperate to wild solutions. In the middle of it, Dodge and Penny try to reach family.
The chaos and people's behavior is sometimes very funny to watch (the best part in this movie), and the character of Dodge is touching. The relationship between Dodge and Penny slowly grows, but I was dissapointed by how it ends.
A better movie than what I expcted anyway.
Rating: 5 /10
