All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Going the Distance is a reasonable to good romantic comedy, albeit many flaws.Not a clean film in terms of appropriate content and not my kind of film, but I found enough of it funny and endearing. There was certainly a lot more good than bad and the cast is likable. If you like this film as I did, I'd recommend Like Crazy (2011), which is basically a better version of this film without the comedy.

Barrymore continues to impress. Good script, good acting something couples going thru can relate to.

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.

Damn this movie made me laugh. I'm not generally one for the romantic comedies but this was very good. Original story, a whose-who list of fantastic secondary characters and genuine chemistry from two very likable leads in Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. I loved the sarcasm between them in their dialogue.The story here is about a guy and a girl who try to keep their love alive as they shuttle back and forth between New York and San Francisco to see one another. They know the odds aren't in their favour but they're going to try and make this work.There are many laugh-out-loud moments here but that sex scene on the dining room table with the husband right there, sitting in the dark, eating a sandwich and then the sister (Christina Applegate) later cleaning and tossing food that falls on the table just killed me. I will watch this one again one day 03.13
