Included in this pile is a letter from Olivia dates three months prior. We learn that Penny has been getting bits of Dodge’s mail for years, which she finally returns to him. By some strange stroke of fate, he befriends Penny (Keira Knightly), a serial monogomist, vinyl collector and extremely heavy sleeper, whom has broken up with her boyfriend and has missed the last plane out of America to spend her last few weeks with her family. While going through old boxes, he finds a picture of Olivia, the one that got away. His wife has run off and he is left to spend his last three weeks alone. Steve Carell plays Dodge, an insurance salesman who has just found out that the world will end by asteroid in exactly three weeks. Is that person you’re with the person you want to spend the remainder of your life with or would you go find the one that got away? Seeking a Friend for the End of the World provokes these thoughts. You have to ask yourself who you would spend that last bit of time with, what you would do with that time, what you would see. It’s hard to imagine how one would react to the news of the impending apocalypse.
