Going the Distance Trailers

Erin and Garrett are very much in love. When Erin moves to San Francisco to finish her journalism degree and Garrett stays behind in New York to work in the music industry, they gamely keep the romance alive with webcams and frequent-flyer miles. But just when it seems the lovers will soon be reunited, they each score a big break that could separate them for good.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
cinephile-27690 This movie is very entertaining-in fact, as a rom-com I found it to be very good. (I usually just like them, with exceptions like Love Actually.) I came very close to loving it, but instead I really liked it. My problem is how the movie decides to advance the relationship. Erin and Garrett, our couple, have sex on the VERY first night that they meet! Who goes to that so quickly? Then the very next morning Erin kisses Garrett and says: "I love you." Um, yeah right! You just loved last night- but you can not love someone that quickly just because you MADE love! That's a pathetic message Hollywood tries to sell. Oh, and the movie ends with 2 people caught in the act of dry humping on a table!There is real love in this movie though. The title comes from the fact that these 2 people live in different states and therefore "go the distance" to see each other. That's the most romantic part of their relationship. It's not a perfect look at romance, but the movie is still very good. It's worth seeing.
mariondowning-427-469344 This movie was trash. It can be summed up by the one conversation where one of the friends admits to sucking his own d*ck. That is the beginning of the downhill rubbish included in this movie that's supposedly romantic. Two people meet (over an old style video game in a shop) and that is meant to be the basis for a great romance? People swearing constantly and talking about dry hump8ing? Rubbish movie deserves a negative rating rather than a 1.
Alexander Moon 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 !
johnbridger I am sure my 15 year old son would think this hilarious as would any other immature person under 25.If you are looking for an even marginally intelligent romcom, look elsewhere. The only person that I know who swears as much as the characters in this film is a Glaswegian work colleague.The humour is generally asinine and the jokes puerile. I would expect better from an actress of the calibre of Drew Barrymore -- I preferred her in ET.I fear for the future of the planet if this nonsense can be regarded as watchable.
