COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Different Romantic Comedy submitted by crazypockets on June 18, 2013, 4:02pm I really wanted to enjoy this movie. I usually love apocalypse stories, and I pretty much like anything Steve Carell is in. But mostly this movie made me anxious. You know from the very beginning that the characters have zero hope of survival. They do a great job of making the inevitability of the world ending completely clear. You KNOW it's coming. There's something very upsetting about that certainty, even in a fictional context. But putting that aside, this was a nice love story with some funny moments. It might've just been my mood at the time that made me not like it as much as I wanted to. I'd go back and watch it again though.

Was hoping to like it more submitted by gardenfaerie on July 4, 2017, 3:21pm I love Steve Carrell and Keira Knightley but somehow this movie never came together for me. Interesting plot and good actors... just didn't feel it. But that's the great thing about the library. It was definitely worth $0 from the comfort of my own couch. ;-)
