Drew Barrymore & Justin Long Fall In Love In ‘Going The Distance’ Trailer

Justin Long is a really funny and charming guy and along with Drew Barrymore, they look great together as a real-life couple. Now, we have a romantic comedy starring both of them as lovers in ‘Going the Distance’. Here’s the trailer.

Erin’s (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett’s friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don’t like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin’s high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road. But despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love, and with the help of a lot of texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go the distance.

Although structured just like a generic rom-com trailer, the movie has two things going for it. First, the script was highly regarded and had great buzz before it was made into a movie. Second, this is rated R instead of the usual PG-13 fodder we’re used to seeing. This means that we could get a mature romantic comedy for once this year. The gags mostly work, but if only the cliched moments weren’t so highlighted in the trailer, it would’ve looked much better. Still, anything with Justin Long is a movie I would watch.
