This is half a good film but hardly a wholly satisfactory one.

London Evening Standard
[T]here’s real wisdom and honesty to the way this improvised friendship plays out, as both characters struggle to leave this mortal coil with some perspective and dignity. -- Grade: B-
A.V. Club
Rating: 2/5 --
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.

Time Out
3 stars out of 4 -- The best parts of this sweet film involve the middle stretches, when time, however limited, reaches ahead, and the characters do what they can to prevail in the face of calamity.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 1/5 --
A failed attempt to mix genres, made worse by a lot of misplaced schmaltz.

Little White Lies
Scafaria retools modern trappings with old formulas for mostly enjoyable effect. Just as long as you don't look at it too intently. Under close examination, you may recoil in disgust.

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is as insufferable as its title.
