Audience Member Good watch, will watch again, and can recommend. This is basically a poor man's American Pie Road trip style of movie with some very memorable scenes. Joane Kelly (Warehouse 13) shows up, and this is an early look at her to show her acting skills above the others in the movie. Matt Frewer (Max Headroom), who has been in almost everything, shows up to lead the scene of the movie that keeps me looking for this one, comedy gold history. This is a National Lampoon production, and there's no budget for Chevy Chase, so for what it is, this is actually a great movie despite not having the big stars to make as big as it should have been. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 170211: Some, in an attempt to define themselves, to stand out above others, have created what should have been unique product but is, in fact, an artistic embarrassment. This film has some great ideas, great characters and great cinematography but is just too crude. A lack of imagination and self-confidence is evident throughout this production, and as a Canadian, Going the Distance just disappoints. Worse, I hate that our county and people may be identified with this film. Joanne Kelly (Sasha) and Mayko Nguyen's (Jill) efforts are somewhat commendable and it was neat to see Matt Frewer (Farmer Joseph), aka Max Headroom, again. This film flirts with being good but I'm disappointed in George Stroumboulopoulos and Avril Lavigne signing on such an obviously excessive effort. I'll just kid myself that their decision had nothing to do with self-promotion and monetary gain. Perhaps they just didn't read the script completely? Canadians are a fun people, especially in our teen years. We are proud, multi-cultural and our country features a beautifully diverse landscape. Going the Distance captures glimmers of these traits but fails in an attempt to get ratings. Sad decision making crushes what should've been defining.

Sometimes people not only boast about getting laid, but really looking for troubles after getting laid. Great plot. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
