Revealing mistake: In the scene when Dodge is knocking at the second house to see if Olivia is home, check out the top left corner of the screen during the shot of Penny sitting in the car - a bird flies by inside the car. The only reasonable explanation is that the visual effects team not only made the bird graphic visible through the window but also in front of the rest of the car. They might have forgotten to bring the car layer in front of the bird layer, causing a bird to be seen flying over top of the entire image. (01:14:00)

Dodge and Penny are two sweet, odd yet relatable people who meet during the chaos of the apocalypse as there's only days until a planet-killing meteor strike obliterates life on Earth! Dodge wants to see his high school crush, while Penny just wants to enjoy life and make it home to be with her family awhile-and the two embark on a journey together to do just that amid the crisis. Sometimes funny, other times a bit poignant, the story is just as the title states-they don't want to be alone for the End, and end up discovering one another in this comedy-drama-romance! Keira Knightly and Steve Carell might not seem like they should have much in common-or their characters-but there's a plausible sweetness to their getting together and a on-screen chemistry that makes the end particularly affecting! It might not make you roll in the aisles or laugh big laughs, but it does have some funny moments, thoughtful moments and, well-it's the end of the world. Give it a look and root for Dodge and Penny.
