Erin and Garrett are good together--even when they're apart. When aspiring journalist Erin (Drew Barrymore) moves to San Francisco to finish her last year of school, boyfriend Garrett (Justin Long), an assistant music scout, stays in Manhattan to pursue his ambitions and wait on that promotion he's been promised. With a webcam connection and frequent flier miles, the two gamely navigate the pitfalls and miscommunications of their bi-coastal romance, dodging bad advice from friends and some predatory singles who won't take "taken" for an answer. But when it seems their wait is almost over, Erin scores her dream job in California just as Garrett's career heats up in New York. The big breaks they've been hoping for could break them up for good...unless their love can truly go the distance.

actors: Drew Barrymore (bad), Justin Long (who? what a fake name too)
Director: Nanette Burstein (a jewish nanny? figures...)

aspiring journalist Erin (Drew Barrymore) - she obviously overestimated her language skills, notice how she repeats what others say (in an aspiring way)
boyfriend Garrett (Justin Long), an assistant music scout - the way this guy looks/acts no band would go near him...someone, call the manager!
and frequent flier miles - expect commercials from air-travel companies

Going the Distance ? not really, the trash bin is near-by...on second thought, better give it some distance, like to the nearest sealed dumpster, the stench is probably a major health-risk here
