Reviews:

A first movie as director? One thump up!
Despite the imminent approach of an ineluctable end of the world, the film oddly bathes in a soft and serene atmosphere, if we obviously ignore some people who behave with humor, for our greatest pleasure: I mow my lawn, I do body-building, I am looking for a new Chief Financial Officer, I’m ready with my all-male friends to repopulate the planet (this one is undoubtedly my favorite), I collect vinyls in a digitized world (this one might be controversial), … and tutti quanti!

Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightley) meet by chance while they are long-time neighbors. They will quickly realize that they perfectly match to achieve together their ultimate quests: he seeks to revisit the love of his life that he has not seen for 18 years and she seeks to see her parents and her nephew again. During these two concomitant quests, despite a 1-generation gap, they will learn to know each other, to appreciate each other, to desire each other.

As a synthesis: this movie is based on two marvelous characters characterized by their empathy and their beneficence, within an atmosphere as odd as wacky. 7/8 of 10

Fine and somewhat messy romantic comedy about the end of the world
I am a fan of end of the world movies, be in the zombie genre, cataclysmic events or just romantic comedies like this one, you put a “END DATE” and I watch it. With that comment, I start my review.

The movie starts violently fast, from the first moment of the announcement. Seeing as the movie starts like this, I was prepared for a hell of a ride but I was shocked at the sudden change in pace in the second and third act.

Steve Carrell does an appropriate job at representing a somewhat sad guy who really doesn’t care too much about his own happiness and Keira does a much better job with emotions for a messy girl who has to live the end of the world alone. The two meet in random circumstances and all seems to be well placed and with good timing, it doesn’t seem forced at all, but the movie make somewhat a big mistake with the way it handled the whole situation.

See, the movie is plagued with dialog, in fact, the majority of the dialog is very “light” for a such a big event. Characters behave very normally the majority of the time and they don’t seemed shocked, at least not up until the last moment and that for me, takes away a lot of important aspects of the circumstances they are in that could gone a lot better.

The movie really slows down in the second act, up to the point of being somewhat repetitive and the dialog is way too much for something as important as the end of the world.

It turns from an end of the world movie to just a “road movie” for the vast majority of the time.

Director seems to get a lot more attention to dialog than emotions and images, so, for me, this takes a lot away from my personal interest.

See, I don’t consider dialog that important in a movie, because images, expressions and looks, they tend to represent a much more important aspect of emotions between characters, something the director does not want or does not know how to properly show.

There are a couple of some very special moments, funny enough, they worked because they stop talking… when they just look each other, the movie simply works, you can actually feel the connection between them, there is chemistry here!, but again, the director had gone to pure dialog, which fills too much space in the movie and takes away that special feeling of those two characters falling in love.

In the end, this movie could had been reduced to just 1 hour and it should had been great, it is very toned down to be “light” and that takes away the tension. The build up to the event is great in the last minutes and it is handled perfectly good because of the silence (which works a lot better than the dialog) but the ending feels a little cheap and left a sour taste in my mouth, even when it is a happy ending.

Anyway, the movie could had been so much more than it is. See it as a warm/light romantic comedy, don’t expect profound questions about life or be shocked with deep emotions, just a fine comedy.

I didn’t saw the original Last Night (1998) which this movie suppose to replicate in a different fashion but I am sure I will watch it now.

5 out of 10 for getting short on the tension/emotional factor and for being just a light comedy.
