Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Chatverock Takes itself way too seriously

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

mariondowning-427-469344 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.

Davis P I usually like Drew Barrymore, but this one was just way too so-so/average to work. Drew Barrymore and Justin long play romantic leads here, their chemistry is just alright, let's just say that they aren't a couple I'd be compelled to pull for, didn't really matter to me whether they stayed together or not in the end. It's not really that Barrymore or Long are bad actors or that they give poor performances, it's just that the two of them put together in a romantic way doesn't work all that well, couldn't buy it. And also the other big issue with the film is the lack of good comedy, it's just not funny. There are a lot of jokes and lines that are supposed to be funny, but in my opinion they aren't even mildly amusing. The script is pretty average too, the dialogue isn't that creative, very predictable and bland. That actually is the one word I'd use to describe this whole movie. BLAND. Honestly there were just two things i liked about this film, Christina Applegate and Drew Barrymore. I enjoyed seeing both of these actresses because I'm fans of both, but that really is the extent of the positives here. 4/10.

jan_valjen Just to be clear, I am a fan of romantic comedies and teen movies. I have no problem with clichés or predictable/expected endings. Actually I prefer these movies because they're predictable, and it makes me happy. However, I really do not like Going the Distance. I just look for comedy and romance in a romantic comedy, naturally. But I couldn't find them in this movie. Firstly, I have to confess that I definitely dislike Justin Long. Of course it is not the reason why I'm not into Going the Distance. It is not even romantic. To kiss each other on the mouth during all movie etc. is not romance. Where are the strong/effective lines and scenes that show the great love? Trust me, if people want to see a soft porn, they do not prefer a Hollywood movie so stop it. Also it is not fun enough. No doubt, this movie is worse than I expected.

panfryd As a romantic comedy, this is one of my favorite movie genres. With Drew Barrymore and Christina Applegate, I was expecting a good movie ... especially with its current IMDb rating of 6.4. I can usually count on any movie rated 6 or higher on IMDb to be at least worth watching.This movie did have a few hilarious moments and was well made with some good acting. But, for one thing, I've never heard so much completely unnecessary profanity. I don't think I've ever seen any movie where the F--- word was uttered so many times ... and in a romantic comedy??? Not just much more than necessary, but I bet well over 100 times. These people had such foul mouths I couldn't identify with them. I'm no prude, but the "stars" didn't utter a sentence that didn't contain at least one foul word, or three ... It became very distracting. Maybe the screenwriter was paid by the amount of profanity he could cram in.If that wasn't enough, the movie was totally inane ... following every worn out recipe. It is extremely rare for a movie to be so very bad that I can't bear to finish watching it, but this one reached that mark. After suffering through it almost to the end, I couldn't take it any more and finally got up (at that point, I didn't really care how it ended). This was a terrible, terrible movie! I rated it a 4, mainly because of the few very funny bits.
