(Movie Review) Going the Distance (2010)

I know this movie is a little bit older, and most people that are ever going to watch it have already done so, but I wanted to check it out since it was a movie that my wife wanted to watch a while back and we never got around to it. So, the moral of the story here is don't CRY about this being a 2 year old movie!

Storyline: Erin has just six more weeks as an intern at the New York Sentinel before she returns to San Francisco. That's fine with Garrett since he just got out of a relationship. But their relationship blossoms and it quickly becomes something that they can't just drop in six weeks. They admit to wanting to be boyfriend/girlfriend just on opposite coasts. The distance wears on them, as with their nay-saying friends and sister, and soon they are forced to either break up or come up with a solution that has them living in the same city. - FROM IMDB

Thoughts? I'm not much into RomCom movies, unless they are really heavy on the Comedy. This movie has some really funny spots in it. Charlie Day is, as always, funny as hell. Long and Barrymore not only look great as a couple but their styles of comedy work well together. I figured that this would be 100% geared towards my wife, but it really ended up being a "guy's comedy". In the end, I would say to check it out. Watch it on netflix.
