i wasn't sure what to expect from going the distance. would it be the typical sappy sweet drew barrymore movie? or would it live up to the previews and deliver comedy gold. it definitely delivered the comedy gold and just enough sappy sweetness. the story focuses on erin (barrymore), a would-be journalist trying to make it in a faltering industry. when erin meets garret (justin long), a relationship-weary record label employee, just a few weeks before leaving her summer in new york to return to california, both their worlds are turned upside down. after a whirlwind month of love in new york, the couple face the challenge of keeping the passion and relationship alive over the next year and beyond. the film mixes romantic comedy with the tongue-in-cheek and gross-out humor of judd apatow films (even though he's not involved). christina applegate and jason sudeikis stand out in supporting roles and bring some of the film's best comedic moments. i definitely suggest checking going the distance out, especially when you still have two days to be lazy at the movies this weekend.
