Romcom Hell: Going the Distance

May 24, 2010 by Andrew G. Rosen

Gentleman, mark your calendars.  If she asks, you’re busy that day.   Which day am I talking about is irrelevant, just trust me.

I am simply trying to help you avoid the long-distance romcom Going the Distance, starring Drew Barrymore and “I’m a Mac” Justin Long.

Geez, they’re even holding the eye candy out in this one!

The movie looks painful.  We’ve already seen it 100 times over.  But for some reason, your girlfriend  thinks it looks “cute.”  Perhaps it’s because D-Bar has fooled the world into thinking she’s the girl next door. And I guess she is, if your girl next door is the offspring of a stage and screen dynasty who were rich before every Hollywood player was rich.  Or maybe it’s because Drew and Justin are an off-screen item.  Whatever the reason, you must get out of this one.

Christina Applegate, Jason Sudeikis of SNL (He’s an A-Hole) and Office Space alum Ron Livingston (I’m Sorry. I Can’t. Don’t hate me.) round out the cast.

Am I being to harsh?  Decide for yourself.  And remember that on opening day, August 27th, 2010, you already have plans.
