Drew... *drool*

Garrett (Justin Long) is just your average guy.
Erin (Drew Barrymore) is just your average girl.

A chance encounter leads to love.
The problem? Erin is going to based in San Francisco pursuing her studies and also a job in journalism while Garrett is stuck in New York with his record company job.
Is long distance really the way to go?

What started out as just fun while she was in the city blossomed into love and now the couple must grapple with the hardships of a long distance relationship while dealing not only with each others' problems but also an array of other obstacles in the way.

Garrett has his 2 buddies Dan (Charlie Day) and Box (Jason Sudeikis) to deal with while Erin must consider her sister Corinne's (Christina Applegate) best intentions for her.

So can it really work like it does in the movies?

Well the highlights of this movie are
1) the chemistry of real-life couple Justin Long & Drew Barrymore.
2) Drew Barrymore is still hot as hell.
3) the dose of reality.

You'd expect this kinda movie to throw in a few twists here and there to make it interesting but I reckon this may be one of the more honest story-tellings in recent times where they don't rely on cheap tricks to make it interesting.

Well if you don't watch this one then maybe the DVD might be worth it.
And oh, make sure you watch it with someone you love in case you need a hug.

Final Verdict:
