Seeking a Friend for the End of the World

…could be cited in a screenwriting textbook as a perfect example of what NOT to do in a screenplay. This was awful! Characters have weak goals, they set out on quasi-quests that go unfulfilled, they leave notes for people they hope to confront. It’s a disaster! They all DESERVE to die! There’s one funny scene in a TGI Friday’s that hints at what this movie could have been. A bacchanal. A balls-to-the-wall, petal-to-the-metal sex and revenge orgy. Then as the Earthlings stand naked and bloodied, awaiting their fate, the asteroid cruises right on by as the credits role. That’s the movie I want to see. This? This was terrible.
