Beautiful, moving film.
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
View MoreIt is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
View MoreA great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
View MoreGoing the Distance was amazingly cute. I kept expecting it to go tragically corny and predictable, and it did... But it did it in such a fresh and funny way I'd watch it again.I did enjoy the Canadian angle, that they never diluted, or make a joke of being Canadian. And they kept me entertained throughout, even if there were only 1 or 2 flat out laughs. Everything was funny, and the few jokes that were over the top were in great contextPlus, the cameos were amazing. How they got great names to play bit parts in a straight to DVD movie was pretty cool.It's not a must see. But it is something you should see.
View MoreEven though this movie has it moments, for the most part it is all the same lame jokes that have been in the rest of the high school crowd movies. It wasn't so original. I would say it was just the Canadian version of American Pie, Trojan War, and the rest of the looking to get laid/road trip movies out there. The main character has hippie laid back parents, lives in a quiet surfing village yet is a little on the up tight site.Another issue I had with this movie is why not fly across the country to be with the love of his life instead of cutting so close driving across. Overall, if nothing else is on on TV, it ain't so bad that would make you want to change the channel.
View MoreJust what a true "hoser" would expect from the great white north, eh? This movie is absolutely hilarious from start to finish as a group of young adults make their way across Canada from Tofino to Montreal, then back to Toronto while overcoming different problems along the way. Included in this movie are many "insider" jokes that likely only a Canadian would get, but that might be what makes this movie work for those cold, igloo living, hockey playing Canucks up north. With time, I would fully expect this to be a Canadian Movie classic, right up there with Strange Brew (1983) and Porky's (1982). GOD BLESS THE SUPER SEXE ALL YOU CAN EAT LUNCH BUFFET!!! (for those that have been there, you know the truth!) I fully recommend this movie with a case of Labatt Blue and a bag of salt and vinegar chips. A full 10 out of 10.
View MoreI've seen Going the Distance and I was pleasantly surprised. The jokes are fresh and funny. The girls are damn hot. There's plenty of nudity and sex. I say kudos to Canada for making a movie that could compete with the commercial Hollywood machine that pumps out American Pies and Without a Paddles. I'm sick of seeing sad, pretentious Canadian movies about terminally ill pregnant lesbians. Making movies is just as much a business as it is an art. It's nice to see this country try to make a buck. Sex and comedy sells, and this movie has plenty of both. This movie comes from the company that did Last Wedding and Punch, both very classy, artsy films. So now they're trying their hand at something else. I say good for them, and as a Canadian, I will support them with my ten dollars.
