The problem is that until you see it, it's hard to believe there can
be an upbeat film about the end of the world.

My advice is to see it, right now, if it hasn't gone away already.
I found that the exercise of looking it up in a paper, dropping
everything, and taking the 15 minute drive with my friend to the
screening 20 minutes later was an exercise that paid us a thematic
bonus.

DC area folk, I think it's only left at the Cineplex Wisconsin.
