My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Seeking a Friend at the End of the World (2012)

Writer/ director Lorene Scafaria takes on the apocalypse with Steve Carrell and Keira Knightley on a road trip to be with the ones they love before an asteroid named Matilda hits the Earth.   What starts off as a comic riff on how people would act when they realized they only had a week left to live develops into a tender love story.  Another wonderful romance for 2012 with strong performances with everyone involved.  I did not expect Carrell and Knightley to have any chemistry on screen but was proved wrong, they're likability is electric.  Grade: A-
