Movie Review: Going the Distance

The other day I got to attend a free sneak preview of Going the Distance, which stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long as a couple trying out a long-distance relationship. It opens next Friday. I guess it is in the romantic comedy genre, although it's not in the girl-trying-to-get-guy style because they are in the relationship basically from the beginning.

I enjoyed it and would recommend it! It had a lot of funny moments, thanks to great casting of not only Drew & Justin, but also Christina Applegate, Jim Gaffigan, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, who basically plays his character from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia so the fact that he's funny goes without saying. Not that I'm an expert, but the movie seems to be pretty honest in the way it depicts long-distance relationships, too. Drew & Justin are both adorable and you are rooting for them as a couple.
