The Gillian Jacobs/Keira Knightley kiss really is incidental, but — you know — who is going to click on, “Trailer for Steve Carell High-Concept Comedy”? And then you’d miss out on the trailer for what looks like a fairly decent summer time flick. It helps that I like Steve Carell — he has soft, sad features that often work in the right role, even if the right role is not necessarily in a great movie (see Dan in Real Life).

Seeking a Friend at the End of the World has a bit of a silly gimmick at its core: A meteor is set to smack into the Earth, killing us all, and we have three weeks left to live. During that time, Carell sets out with a neighbor (Keira Knightley) to find the one that got away. But, it looks sweet and harmless, and it might even being surprisingly decent, like last summer’s Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Plus, Gillian Jacobs totally kisses Keira Knightley.

"And in summation, good luck and bon appetit."

Pierce will never let her live this down.

Is there a new rule that Patton Oswalt has to be cast in every single film made now, or what? Not that I'm complaining.

more importantly: CONNIE BRITTON

You shut your mouth about Dan in Real Life. Dane Cook notwithstanding, that movie is the cinematic equivalent of a hug.

Erin S, thanks for that :)

Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while...

It's a dildo.

Maybe it's the beer and the Johnnie Walker Red, but ... this actually looks pretty good.

Hmm, not a bad premise. Won't see it.

One for DVD I think!

Love? It's rather seducing someone. Does the movie convince? Maybe, we shall see...

Surprised Chris Cornell's song isn't in the trailer, but it's not the most hilarious song either, I guess.

Also? I'm skipping this one. ZZZZZzzzz.

It could be because I have just spent the past hour defrosting this icey heart by looking at photographs of dogs chasing balls, underwater.... but this actually made me smile.

I'm looking forward to it. Is it just me, or does Kiera seem to have softened a little bit? I was worried for a while that all those corsets caused her to be in constant "clench" mode. I'm glad she seems like she's actually having fun in this one.

Gillian Jacobs! Keira Knightley!

Those are like two of my favorite things!

The Talking Heads song sold me...

I was going to say the same thing about Rob Huebel.
