Going the Distance, and Then Some

Erin and Garret saying goodbye at the airport, confirming their love for each other.

Going the Distance is a modern day romantic comedy that was just released on September 4, 2010. In it, Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garret (Justin Long) begin to go on dates while both living in New York City. Erin was only in town for an unpaid internship as a journalist over the summer, when after she'd move back to San Francisco with her older sister Corinne (Christina Applegate). The couple started off not wanting anything serious but discovered they were truly in love with each other and began to have a long distance relationship once Erin returned. The movie deals with the struggles of long distance relationships with eventful twists and turns along the way. You can view the trailer here!

The movie was much different than I ever anticipated, but in the best way possible. The plot was interesting along with a different sense of humor. The actors did an amazing job, well, acting! The movie seemed so realistic and was portrayed perfectly by a couple who themselves have been dating on and off. They starred together back in 2009 on the set of He's Just Not That Into You, another romantic comedy which was released around Valentine's Day.
