(2012) Directed by Lorene Scafaria. Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightly) are both having a very bad day. Shell-shocked after hearing that the last hope of destroying the massive asteroid on a collision course with Earth has failed, Dodge watches helplessly as his wife bounds out of their car and vanishes into the night. Later, as the now-reluctant loner ponders what to do with his remaining time on the doomed planet, sobbing waif Penny appears at his window lamenting her breakup with self-centered boyfriend Owen. When the sun rises the following morning, the two neighbors who had barely exchanged passing glances in the hallway have forged a tenuous yet very real connection. When Dodge announces a plan to reconnect with his ex while he still has the time Penny vows to help him accomplish his goal at all costs. [Romance | Drama]
