  I'm a fan of Drew Barrymore, and I really believe that the best is yet to come from her. Her acting in this particular rom-com isn't bad at all. But she looks too old for this part, especially next to real-life boyfriend Justin Long. Long looks like he could be her son, and poor Barrymore looks like she needs to get another Botox treatment. The script, although formulaic at times, provides some laughs, as does the supporting cast (Day, Sudeikis, Applegate). I didn't like how willing Barrymore's character was to give up her dream--FOR A SECOND TIME, or the portrayal of this generation's crude way of communicating. Would have liked to see extension of metaphor in dying industries that these characters work for. And to skip the tacked-on ending. So, this movie is kind of hit or miss. And definitely a chick flick.

  A young newspaper reporter and a music talent scout attempt to make a bi-coastal relationship work. I think that it is difficult to render the pressures of a long-distance relationship without resorting to what Super Reviewer Alice Shen calls "go-to distance conflicts." As a former victim of a long distance relationship, I can attest to the fact that much of the conflict is internal and doesn't lend itself to film. But at the same time, I can't blame the film for trying. Eventually what the film amounts to is a solid romantic comedy. The characters' relationship develops and degrades all in accordance with the formula that has been tried and true. There is an appropriate balance of pathos and comedy with some decent performances from Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. These people won't stay with you for very long, but it's nice knowing them for the film's ninety-seven minutes. Overall, this is a fine film but nothing to write home about.

  Awesome hilarious back and forth long distance relationship flick of two folks (Drew Barrymore (she) and Justin Long (he))that just can't seem to making a commitment to each other work because of the distance between Los Angeles (where she lives) and New York (where he lives) If there are any of you that is reading this review and have ever been involved in a long distance relationship you already know that compromise (aside from trust)... is always a factor that is the solution to making this type of relationship work.Even if you have the chemistry for each other...compromise usually works...see this film is is an interesting turn of events, with a lot of fun!

  It was kinda funny at first but then it became boring. 2 years from now, nobody will give any shit about this movie anymore.
