WHO WILL DIG IT?

Steve Carell
Steve Carell

Fans of Steve Carell, Keira Knightley, adorable acting canines, quirky romantic comedies, and pre-apocalyptic road-trip flicks.

THREE GOOD REASONS

  • 1Carell is finding his stride in quirky romantic comedies as of late; for evidence, look no further than "Dan in Real Life" (2007) and "Crazy, Stupid, Love" (2011).

  • 2Screenwriter Loren Scafaria ("Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" 2008) makes her directorial debut. In doing so, she creates an endearing, human-sized dramedy out of an idea that usually plays much larger: the apocalypse.

  • 3Any movie with Carell, Patton Oswalt, and Rob Corddry has to be funny.

Like last year's Academy Awards darlings "The Artist" and "Beginners," this film includes a definitive doggie performance. Aleister the terrier stars as Carell's trusty sidekick, Sorry. Aleister's part is so big he required three stunt doubles, all of whom were rescued from animal shelters, like Aleister himself.
