The movie centers on Erin and Garrett, who fall in love one summer in New York City and gamely keep the romance alive with webcams and frequent-flyer miles when Erin heads home to San Francisco.

Much like Drew Barrymore, [this film] is so intent on being cutesy and bubbly that it's nauseating...

It smothers the already frail story of their characters' long-distance relationship with enough R-rated gross-out humor for half a dozen Judd Apatow movies -- except that virtually none of it is funny.

Acknowledges both the difficulty and the comic potential of the arrangement, and does so with enough insight and charm to make you wonder why frequent-flier love is not a more popular theme in romantic comedies.

Going the Distance is concocted from a familiar formula. It just happens to be a really good example of what can be done with it.

Barrymore comfortably slips into more filthy talk and situations while bringing her innate sweetness and relatability.

If you've ever had an awkward sexual moment in your life (admit it, you have), this is the movie for you. If you've ever believed there can't be love without the comedy, this is the movie for you.

Particularly forgettable.

It's filthy, funny and kind of sweet, if not quite up to the level of Judd Apatow's oeuvre in the burgeoning field of R-rated comedies with heart.

What's both refreshing and problematic is that there's no emotional imbalance between boy and girl: their feelings are mutual and the obstacle is purely geographical.

Barrymore carries the movie on a cloud of lusty giggles and F-bombs.
