Going the Distance- When it’s worth the wait!

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long star in this cute flick about long distance relationships aptly titled ‘Going the Distance’.
Set in New York and San Francisco this one delves into the difficulties and hassles of surviving a long distance relationship. With off shoulder tees for Drew and Justin sporting the chequered shirt rolled up sleeve- slightly geeky look, the chemistry in the film between our stars is just about okay.

With subtle uncomfortable moments and a little tacky dialogue the film fails to entertain let alone humour the audiences. However the supporting cast with Christina Applegate (the overprotective sister) and Rhode Island cutie Charlie Day (Justin’s roommate) manage to give the flick some volume with their extreme characterizations. Spotted cleaning her dining table after her sister has had her fun; Christina beautifully layers her neuroticism and perfection through her pencil length skirt attires and tightly pulled up hair in a neat ponytail. As for Charlie with his daffy look and background score he inappropriately provides as the couple make out, are among the few instances that make the film scrape through the 2 hours. 


Love conquers all

Over all not a very stylish film, just about so-so with the attire, though I did like the choker Drew sports in the last scene.
My Rating: 1.5/5
