That was an excellent one.

Such a frustrating disappointment
Gutsycurene
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Erin (Drew Barrymore) is finishing her internship in New York and returning home to San Francisco. Garrett (Justin Long) gets dumped by his girlfriend. They start up a fling but end up trying to keep the long distant relationship alive.There is some foul mouth rude sarcastic fun to be had here. When you get Charlie Day, you can't expect anything less. At least, I hope we don't get anything less.We catch Justin Long and Drew Barrymore while they're still a couple. Their breakup probably didn't help this movie any. They have good chemistry together. However it doesn't work on the phone. It breaks up the flow of the rom-com. I know it's the gimmick that drives the movie. It's just not a very cinematic gimmick.

I'm a hopeless romantic and proud of it. Unlike most men, I enjoy cute and touching rom coms full of cuddling, sweet words and good intentions. Drew Barrymore is quite the woman-child that are perfect to get featured in a sentimental fare. Sure she is also a "strong working" and "kick ass" girl of our times but at heart, you can see how sensitive she is.So I was expecting something sweet, funny and adorable, just like her...But this is the total opposite of those words.Trust me it's more an horror flick than a romance or comedy one. This is anything but funny, this is utterly embarrassing and the summit of toilet humor.It's badly acted (easily Mrs Barrymore worst performance ever), poorly written and has no soul at all.Do yourself a favor and avoid it like a plague and , instead, go for legit beautiful and touching rom coms with Drew Like "First 50 Dates" and the very funny and adorable "Fever Pitch" with the excellent Jimmy Fallon.You will thank me later !

Delving into the similar premise as the uninvolving "Like Crazy", director Nanette Burstein ventures however into a more comedic route. However "Going the Distance" by choosing a somewhat milder downtrodden path fails to capture much of the gist of long distance relationships, instead taking genre short-cuts that go amiss, forcing the story into a dramatic dead-end.Erin (Drew Barrymore), a 30-ish intern at a New York magazine, hits off a precarious relationship with Garrett (Justin Long), a music talent scout with commitment issues. Given Erin's imminent departure to Los Angeles to finally finish her studies, the duo find an understanding: just fun and friendship, no expectations. However after a glorious and apparently eventful six weeks (probably happened off-screen, as the audience wasn't privy to observe much chemistry or in-love madness), the pair have trouble coping with cutting off all ties. Instead they enter into a dry-humping cross-continental relationship, where neither is prepared to jump away from their careers.Despite some moments of charm, mostly delivered thanks to the witty demeanour of Garrett's best friends Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day) not enough seems to be actually happening. Emotional tension between the two key characters are virtually non-existent, while banter and jokes only work in brief bouts, more often than not resounding dry and empty. The worst on offer is unfortunately Corinne played by Christina Applegate, who despite my personal affection towards her, is offered a dreadful role of eternally frustrated and pedantic housewife. Meanwhile Burstein utilises this character to follow all the worst marriage clichés imaginable, audaciously pretending that there is something humorous in this extrapolated nonsense.
