Rolling Stone Peter Travers Barrymore and Long are both appealing, but not enough to sustain audience interest in the cinematic equivalent of dry-humping. | 8 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs While it takes its sweet time in doing the titular thing, Going the Distance has enough charm and laughs | 11 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer It's timelier and a little more honest than most romantic comedies, but Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's screen chemistry doesn't make up for Going the Distance's overall flatness. | 10 | |
