An asteroid is coming to destroy the world. Dodge (Steve Carell) is left alone when his wife bolts out of their car and runs away from him. His sad suicidal final days are punctured by his neighbor Penny (Keira Knightley). They set off to find his old love and fly Penny back to her family in England.
Keira Knightley is the Manic Pixy Dream Girl here to save the down Steve Carell. Steve Carell starts off as a downer for a long time. It's always hard to be excited about a guy who's a downer. The road trip has some great parts but has some uneven moments as well. Keira Knightley is too young to have that final moment with Steve Carell. She is much better simply as a friend. Other than that, there is some fun.
