Going the Distance has a great premise behind it, but lacks good enough writing to pull it off. Though there is obvious and compelling chemistry between main characters Erin (Drew Barrymore) and Garrett (Justin Long), as well as a talented supporting cast that includes Jason Sudeikis (TV's Saturday Night Live) and Christina Applegate, the film leaves something to be desired. What we do like about this movie is that it is extremely modern and presents a couple who have no doubts about one another - their relationship is strained strictly for geographical reasons. Not to mention, it poses what-am-I-going-to-do-with-my-life style questions that all of us college students can relate to.
Best on-screen moment: When Box (Sudeikis) explains the reasoning behind his '70s-era mustache.
