Any other films like this?

I really liked this one too. I think one of the themes I like about this movie and some of my other favorites is the triumph of an unlikely relationship developing between mismatched characters, usually due to a unique situation that causes a change or personal growth of one or both of the characters. I also like some comedy built in to swing emotions. Other movies that had a similar impact on me that fit this bill are:

About a Boy
About Time
Bringing Up Baby
Groundhog Day
Harold and Maud
Paper Moon
The Graduate
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
What's Up Dock
When Harry Met Sally

Two come directly to mind:

Last Night (1998)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0156729/

And, These final Hours (2013)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2268458/

Last Night is a compressed version of the story which ends up playing very well.
These Final Hours too is a fine alternative version of the story. A little darker, a little sadder but in the end the same general content told in a sufficiently differently way as to be worth the time.

Each was "written" by the respective director but are so close conceptually as to likely be sourced from the same base material.

If that is the case, each still has enough individual interpretation to make them damn fine stand alone films even without the inevitable comparisons.

Each writer/Director deserves credit for their offerings.

Garden State

"It's a disaster" starring Julia Stiles. Friends get together for brunch and a dirty bomb goes off so they are all stuck inside the house. More of a dark comedy than heartwarming.

Before the Fall (2008)
Tres días (original title).

The world learns that a planet killing meteorite will arrive in 72 hours.

Check out 'Jeff Who Lives At Home'.
SAFFTEOTW really impacted me and still does. And Jeff Who Lives At Home did the same thing for me. It's all about what it makes you feel, but these movies are some of the few that actually make me feel something.

Steve Carell was just as wonderful in "Dan in Real Life". It's more of a low-key, slice-of-life romantic dramedy. I've watched it a handful of times and it always makes me smile.

I'd recommend the Australian movie 'These final hours'. Similar plot but without the humor and more about the decadence and anxiety. I love both movies.
