Going the Distance
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 4:39:57 AM
In this romantic comedy, Garrett (played by Justin Long) and Erin (played by sweet Drew Barrymore) meet in a bar. Their apparent one night stand turns into six weeks. Unfortunately, six weeks is all they have. Erin's internship at the New York Chronicle is over and she's headed back to San Francisco, to finish her studies, living with her sister and her family. Neither Garrett nor Erin are willing to break up, so they decide to start a long distance relationship to hold on to each other.We follow their struggles to make it work. They talk daily on the phone, they open Christmas presents via video chat, and they even try to have phone sex. Unfortunately none of it works as good as the real thing. Seeing each other every 3 months starts to wear them down emotionally, and tough decisions are to be made.
And no, I'm not gonna reveal here whether they make it or not!

As for the acting, I liked both Drew Barrymore and Justin Long in this movie. Christina Applegate plays the sister, and she's doing it so well. She really steals the scene when she is on. Very good. Jim Gaffigan who plays her dry humping husband does a very good job too.
It looks like a chick flick. I think there were about 8 dudes in the cinema when I saw the movie, the rest of the audience was chicks. But I'd say men could get a great laugh out of this movie as well.
I was entertained for sure.
Another thing - check out the soundtrack! There were some really good music there:
1. Generationals - "Either Way"
2. Georgie James - "Places"
3. Katie Herzig - "Hey Na Na"
4. Albert Hammond, Jr. - "In Transit"
5. The Cure - "Just Like Heaven"
6. The Pretenders - "Don't Get Me Wrong"
7. The Boxer Rebellion - "Spitting Fire"
8. Cat Power - "Could We"
9. Band Of Skulls - "Cold Flame"
10. Eels - "Prizefighter"
11. Passion Pit - "The Reeling" (Groove Police Remix)
12. Fanfarlo - "Harold T. Wilkins, Or How To Wait For A Very Long Time"
13. The Replacements - "Here Comes A Regular"
14. The Boxer Rebellion - "If You Run"
15. Gotye - "Learnalilgivinanlovin"
16. The Airborne Toxic Event - "Half Of Something Else"




out of 6.

@ Kimmie ~ When people mention Christina Applegate I always think of "Married with children" (which is still on my wishlist), I can't really recall seeing her in anything else than that. Hmmm...
@ Gavin ~ I'm pretty sure you'll like this one.
@ Flarin ~ It's true, that guy looks like Jason Lee, but it's not him
@ Angeliki ~ Comedy wise it's a 6
@ Star ~ It was two hours of good laughs. The humour in it was just me.

*looks for cameras*
She's got this capable yet needy, streetwise yet naive quality about her. Whether that's her or just the way she acts, I don't know, but it's very likable. Oh, and whenever anyone hurts her feelings in films she pulls this one hurt face that makes me start reaching for the baseball bat to protect her. Not so good at crying though I've noticed but makes up for it with a natural feeling happiness.

@the lady of the house; I rather suspect that you're right!
