Synopsis
Erin’s (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and natural frankness attract
newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and
breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged
summer fling, but neither really expects it to last especially as
Erin will be returning home to San Francisco leaving Garrett to his
job in New York City.
As the summer draws to a close, six weeks of romping through the
city has becomes more meaningful than either Erin or Garrett
suspected and now the reality is that neither is sure they want it
to end, despite pressure from friends and family. While Garrett’s
friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his
full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don’t like losing
their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. Likewise,
Erin’s overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina
Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar
road.
Back to their former lives but on opposite coasts, the nay-saying
friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple
just might have found something like love. With the help of a lot of
texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go
the distance.
Academy Award nominated documentary-maker Nanette Burstei (ON THE
ROPES) makes her feature debut with GOING THE DISTANCE
