I can't say I'm turning into a movie critic - mostly because my taste in film is very specific and, um, narrow. Haha if you're not a classy musical or an unrealistic romantic comedy, I won't have it :)But since I have time to see more movies while recovering I may as well share my opinions.
Yesterday I hobbled out to see "Going the Distance" with Drew Barrymore and Justin Long. This was one I was really looking forward to after seeing the poster and previews. Somehow any semi-sweet film taking place in New York City automatically looks promising (in my book, anyway). But...it didn't quite go as far as I wanted it to.
Read the Times review and synopsis here. They liked it better than I did.
I'd give it 3 of 5 stars.
