Going The Distance (2010) 7/10

Starring : Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate, Ron Livingston
Director : Nanette Burstein
Running Time : 103 mins

Erin (Barrymore) and Garrett (Long) meet one night after Garrett has been dumped by his long term girlfriend, and they have what they think will be a one night stand. Garrett isn’t ready for a new relationship and Erin only has six weeks left of her internship before she heads back to San Francisco, so everything seems ideal until they fall for each other and are forced to face facts – either try out a coast to coast relationship of break up...

This is a reasonably likeable comedy drama that, unfortunately, doesn’t really go anywhere. It starts with the couple getting together, being quite happy, then thinking “Hmm, long distance is bad”, then getting back together anyway. Even though this basically starts and ends in much the same way, it is still an enjoyable rom-com that would be ideal for a quiet night in with a loved one.
