Going the Distance

Rating: 5

Starring: Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Christina Applegate

Genre:Comedy/Romance

Barrymore plays a 31 yr old intern at a New York City Newspaper. Long works for a music record company. They meet in a bar playing a video game and instantly connect. The problem is she plans to return to the West Coast to go back to school. How are they going to advance their relationship long distance? Both likeable young people, not filled with angst and negative attitudes towards their world, so you tend to root for them to work things out. But my main question is – Do all young men & women in their 20s & 30s talk so profanely? Language throughout is straight from the sewer, particularly among Long’s loser friends. My theory is that constant use of profanity is a vocabulary problem. Most intelligent people find other less offensive ways to express themselves.
