Going the Distance

Long distance rom-com with Drew Barrymore and her real life boyfriend - name escapes me at the moment.

They meet in NY then have six weeks before Drew has to go back to Stanford University in CA. They have an idyllic time then decide to carry on a long distance romance with funny, sometimes hilarious and sad moments.

I laughed out loud at several scenes and it showed the age of the other women/girls in the cinema (that's all that were there), They were very young.

Drew Barrymore just gets this dating difficulty thing whenever she plays a woman looking for love. In He's Just Not That Into You - the speech about ringing his landline, and his ringing your mobile and texting, leaving messages and checking various media and how exhausting it is was very well delivered.

Both leads were very convincing along with the friends and Drew's OCD sister were very good supporting characters.

You'll never look at fake tanning or dining room tables in the same way.

Another recommendation from me.
