Going the Distance Reviews

This easygoing, good-hearted, and spirited romantic comedy is a great end to Summer 2010.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020

Very funny script, charming leads and memorable supporting characters.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 14, 2020

Let's be honest: any flaws the film has are over shadowed by the sheer adorableness of the two leads.

| Mar 8, 2019

Unfortunately, Going the Distance doesn't take audiences far enough.

| Original Score: D | Sep 9, 2017

Barrymore carries the movie on a cloud of lusty giggles and F-bombs.

| May 9, 2015

If you've ever had an awkward sexual moment in your life (admit it, you have), this is the movie for you. If you've ever believed there can't be love without the comedy, this is the movie for you.

| Nov 8, 2013

Barrymore comfortably slips into more filthy talk and situations while bringing her innate sweetness and relatability.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 13, 2013

You sort of wind up rooting for them in spite of their characters being somewhat knuckleheadish.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Going the Distance is concocted from a familiar formula. It just happens to be a really good example of what can be done with it.

| Original Score: B+ | Mar 9, 2011

Much like Drew Barrymore, [this film] is so intent on being cutesy and bubbly that it's nauseating...

| Jan 8, 2011

...the pervasively affable atmosphere [is] heightened by the palpable chemistry between Long and Barrymore's respective characters.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 20, 2010

The combination of a very funny and a little bit raunchy rom-com with the plethora of extras make the package a must to rent or buy.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 13, 2010

Not a great film, but in a time when most romantic comedies are trite and predictable, this one at least tries to deal with an actual relationship hurdle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 2, 2010

...being different doesn't necessarily mean being better.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 1, 2010

Sex, drugs and F-bombs on the first date...ah, modern romance...

| Original Score: C | Oct 25, 2010

An original film that gets it right when it comes to exploiting both love and laughs.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 24, 2010

Going the Distance features the graduation of Justin Long from gawky supporting actor to gawky lead actor, and Drew Barrymore from cutesy rom-com star to cutesy rom-com star with a filthy mouth.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2010

Burstein is a documentarian by training, and she milks an unforced honesty from the story.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 8, 2010

Foul-mouthed and funny, 'Going the Distance' is a youthful romance for grownups.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2010

Drew Barrymore and her boy toy try going bicoastal

| Original Score: C- | Sep 20, 2010
