Going the Distance

September 5.

"Going the Distance" is an OK romantic comedy. It's a lot funnier than most chick flicks but the story is a little weak.

Drew Barrymore plays a :::cough::: 31-year-old :::cough::: intern at a New York newspaper, who actually lives in San Francisco where she is finishing her master's degree. A few weeks before she's headed back home she meets Justin Long and they fall in love. Awe.

For most of the movie the two are in different cities trying to work out if they will ever really be together. It doesn't really matter. The jokes are good though. Long and Barrymore are cute and funny. And, the supporting cast of their friends and family, including Christina Applegate, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jim Gaffigan, is great.
