Movie Review: Going the Distance

The story is quite simple:
Erin is an intern at New York Chronicles who accidently met Garret who just broke up because he can't commit to a relationship. From the beginning, Erin has told Garret that she was going back to San Fransisco since her internship was about to end. However, within the few weeks, they fell hard for each other. So they tried to do long distance relationship. Until they realized it was not possible anymore and a solution must be made.

This movie will not have been as genuine and funny without the great acting performed by Drew Barrymore and Christina Applegate. This is one of the many romantic comedies where every " I love you " rings true. Erin said the first one when she realized it and Garret replied back fully aware that it was his first ones coming from his heart. Erin wept when she said her second one with  when Garret proposed that she should accept the job at San Fransisco Chronicles even if they had to say goodbye.

Christina Applegate manage to put all the comedies that can be performed for this movie. And she manages to make the movie feels fresh.

However, the movie has a predictable ending. Something that is too good to be true. So I would like to say that this is an OK movie. It is not a memorable one.
