It's always a blast for the audience when two stars who are in love film a romantic movie together. Case in point: "The Notebook." "Cruel Intentions" and "The Last Song." The sexual energy is just a little bit higher, and the intimate moments are just that much more realistic, and the romance off screen really lends itself to making a believable story on screen.
So, needless to say, we're pretty excited about Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's "Going The Distance." Since we spotted the two of them making out on the set back in October, and learned that Charlie Day and Christina Applegate would be joining the cast, we've been anxiously awaiting the trailer for the film, due out August 27. Well, that day has finally come.
We've got to say, we really like what we see! The chemistry between Justin and Drew is, as expected, very relaxed and believable, and we can totally see them as being the type of couple to try out a long distance relationship. Add that to the fact Charlie and "Saturday Night Live's" Jason Sudeikis are totally hilarious as Justin's character's best friends, while Christina looks fantastic as Drew's sister, and you've got us really digging this trailer.
What we like is that the trailer really doesn't give away the entire story, but sets up what viewers will see in theaters. It shows that Drew's Erin needs to go off to San Francisco after six weeks of dating Justin's Garrett, but doesn't imply that this move is only the first half of the story. Apparently things go really well for them while they're going the long distance relationship, but it isn't until she gets her dream job in San Francisco and his career starts heating up in Manhattan that the drama really starts.
We love pretty much everything Justin and Drew have ever done, and this trailer really cements that "Going The Distance" looks like a fun little romcom.
