It’s about
the perils of a long distance relationship.
In the increasingly
arthritic rom com the long distance relationship has been strangely absent,
until now.
Evidently
satisfied by one of the last few unmined hooks the filmmakers forgot again to
put an healthy amount of genuinely comic moments. The whole movie is so adherent
to the established rom com traditions that it’s impossible to avid a sense of déjà
vu at each and every scene.
Luckily for
them they got one of the great staples of the genre in Drew Barrymore. She
doesn’t have that great comic timing but she is so sympathetic, so girl next
door, that it’s impossible not to root for her, even when the other lead is
Justin Long, who still enjoy a surprising clout considering the number of roles
he is getting.
With a plot
that doesn’t manage to get over “Long distance relationships never work” this
entry is just for die hard rom com fans.
