Taking place when the asteroid Matilda approaches Earth, humans understand that they can exist only three weeks. With Dodge, he is just alone after his wife panickes and leaves. So Dodge decides to go looking for love since high school, with the desire to be eased somewhat during the remaining period of life.
Could there be a more opportune time for this topic? Will that pack 'em in the theaters? Not likely. It's hectic while lacking tension, thus paradoxically ending up both irritating and boring simultaneously.
Carell could have given the performance of his life (he doesn't), and the film would have remained a cliché-ridden mess with a narrative built on convenience and coincidence.
