Title: Awful, awful movie
Product review: I ordered this on VOD and stopped it once and then tried to give it a second try the next day. No go. What an awful, awful movie. No redeeming qualities. Just full of vulgar and sophomoric dialog/situations; nothing short of soft-core pornography in some instances. What really makes me angry? That the producers didn't even have the guts to "own" this film. Instead, it was marketed as a Drew Barrymore "romcom" and not the crass movie that it is. Ms. Barrymore seems to be entering that stage of her career where she feels the need to break out of a mold and be "edgy". Usually that leads to disaster for good comedic actresses (see Meg Ryan and Jennifer Aniston) and "Going the Distance" is no exception. And, sorry, no matter how hard Justin Long tries to reinvent himself as some sort of player, it just doesn't work to play that far against type. Silver lining, I paid $1.99 on VOD, rather than $12 at the theater.
