Movie Reviews

Movie Review from EmpireOnline.com

Given the plastic standard of many 2010 rom-coms — step forward Valentine’s Day, The Back-Up Plan, When In Rome — Going The Distance feels even more like a breath of fresh air, casting it in the mantle of this year’s (500) Days Of Summer as a quirky, entertaining lovefest you can get behind. It may not shake all its movie-movie roots, but it gives the impression of having one foot in real life, real relationships and real romantic dilemmas.

Most of this quality of recognition comes from Geoff La Tulippe’s script, a former entry on the Black List, Hollywood’s run-down of hottest unproduced screenplays. There is no crazy meet-cute — our couple bond over the Caterpillar arcade game and Top Gun — and no overwrought plot machinations to break them up/get them back together again.

Movie Review from TotalFilm.com

After sharing celluloid with a crowded ensemble in He’s Just Not That Into You, real-life couple Drew Barrymore and Justin Long get more time to themselves in this, their second moviedate.

He’s Garrett, a lowly A&R man. She’s Erin, a student wannabe journalist. They meet in New York and spend six glorious weeks together. But she must return to San Francisco to study.

Will they make their coast-to-coast relationship work? Will they indeed ‘go the distance’?

From the corny ‘see what we did there?’ title to a plot that’s as predictable as a transatlantic flight-path, this is a truly join-the-dots romcom.
