Why so much hype?

Perfect cast and a good story

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

The first must-see film of the year.

This movie was trash. It can be summed up by the one conversation where one of the friends admits to sucking his own d*ck. That is the beginning of the downhill rubbish included in this movie that's supposedly romantic. Two people meet (over an old style video game in a shop) and that is meant to be the basis for a great romance? People swearing constantly and talking about dry hump8ing? Rubbish movie deserves a negative rating rather than a 1.

Have you ever been out on a date with someone who seems very enduring, only ending up to discovering that they have a trashy personality. The romantic comedy film, titled Going the Distance can be described up the same way. The film is a bunch of trash. Its nothing but stupid jokes with no substance. To make things worse, theirs no romance in this show. With that stated I must also state the effort that has clearly been put in to the writing of the script is puzzling. Dose the screenwriter think he is something or do the actors and actresses manage to mess up extraordinarily. In My opinion it's both, that are an horrible mess, that makes this a joke, of a film.The amount of crude humour just smacks ones intelligence in this film. I'm not against the use of most types of humour per say. Yet there is a difference between being told a dirty joke is funny because it's a dirty joke so it just has to be good, and a dirty joke that's actually funny. This movie like so many today, uses the dirty jokes in the worst ways possible for laughter.Summary. A very unromantic, not funny, but a truly forgettable film. Don't see this movie. It dose not work on any level. Going the Distance really goes no place. Forget you ever heard of it. That will be doing yourself a favour

I'm a hopeless romantic and proud of it. Unlike most men, I enjoy cute and touching rom coms full of cuddling, sweet words and good intentions. Drew Barrymore is quite the woman-child that are perfect to get featured in a sentimental fare. Sure she is also a "strong working" and "kick ass" girl of our times but at heart, you can see how sensitive she is.So I was expecting something sweet, funny and adorable, just like her...But this is the total opposite of those words.Trust me it's more an horror flick than a romance or comedy one. This is anything but funny, this is utterly embarrassing and the summit of toilet humor.It's badly acted (easily Mrs Barrymore worst performance ever), poorly written and has no soul at all.Do yourself a favor and avoid it like a plague and , instead, go for legit beautiful and touching rom coms with Drew Like "First 50 Dates" and the very funny and adorable "Fever Pitch" with the excellent Jimmy Fallon.You will thank me later !

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! I have to say it came as a bit of a surprise, I wasn't expecting much after seeing the trailer as they tend to put the best bits in the trailers. But I was wonderfully surprised about how funny and warming this film was!! The cast of Justin Long and Drew Barrymore works really well together and Justin's friends in the film (played by Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) are hilarious! If you have seen the trailer and aren't sure whether to bother seeing it or not, I say give it a chance because you'll be surprised at how well this movie works. The rating of 6.3 out of 10 is not justified, you need to see it before making any judgements. Definitely worth a watch!!
