It is a feel good movie. Watch it with your gf/bf. Both of you will feel good.
I watched it with a couple of girls. All of whom had had a break-up or were in a long-distance relationship. Lol! Not the best company to watch the movie with!
By the end of the movie two of them were almost crying! Sha. Had to cheer them up with gooey chocolate brownie. So that was the background info.
As far as the story goes it's pretty predictable. They meet at a bar/gaming center and realize they have a lot in common. She's on an internship at NY. While he works at NY for a music company. After 6 weeks of going out, it's time for the intern to move back to LA. A lot of factors come into picture. The distance, the difference in time-zones, the missing physical proximity. A few surprise visits. Funny fantasies(?). Trying to make up for the lack of sex. Trying to do everything together, even after the distance.
Even after all the adjustments, even when they themselves are happy with the whole set-up, it's the people around who cause the most damage. Friends and family bring in the insecurities of being in a long-distance.
How do you know he's not cheating on you? How do you know he is doing what he says he is doing. These are some of the questions they raise.
Jealousy.
Important decisions to make.
Priorities: Career or love?
And the inevitable happens- they break up.
But in the end love prevails. And they're back together!
Oh these movies! Make you believe anything is possible.

"Going the distance"
I'd watched the movie a few months back and liked it a lot. The opening scene is hillarious, specially liked the dinner scene wherein the other guys tell him how much trouble the hero has got them in to, hero's scenes with the heroine's sister, many more.
If you did not know, it is Drew Barrymore's debut as a director.
^ Ooh, I didn't know that..
