Empire
"Perhaps not as funny or affecting as you'd hope, but Carell and Knightley make for good company for the darkest days."
Time Out
"Though it's clear we're meant to be moved by the big finale, the sight of these two together is so unsettling it's hard not to start rooting for the asteroid."
Total Film
"The sugary third act might be as sappy as the first is dark, but there are comforts in this apoca-romcom - not least Carell's sad-eyed, soulful turn."
