The British-American dramedy starring Rob Lowe, Megan Mullally and Jenna Fischer (plus Diana Rigg) is "incredibly clever,” says Robert Bianco, "and it can be very funny — sometimes overtly, sometimes in a dry, restrained, throwaway kind of way. But this Apocalypse has more to offer than laughs, some of it disturbing, as you might expect if the world were coming to an end.” PLUS: It wastes an all-star cast on a surprisingly dull slog, it’s creepy-funny and very different, it’s a fun but slow-going experiment in end-of-the-world gallows humor, and not even Megan Mullally as a white supremacist prison inmate could save You, Me & the Apocalypse.

Like it a lot. Reminiscent of "Three Moons Over Milford" (although, I hope, not in longevity).
