Résumés(1)
Erin et Garnett sont très bien ensemble, même quand ils ne le sont pas. Lorsqu’Erin, jeune étudiante en journalisme, part pour San Francisco terminer ses études ; son petit ami Garrett, jeune découvreur de talents musicaux, reste à Manhattan poursuivre ses ambitions dans l’attente d’une promotion qui lui a été promise. Grâce à la connexion d’une webcam et le programme miles "grand voyageur", ils avancent tous deux leurs pions naviguant au travers des pièges et problèmes de communication de leur amour Est-Ouest, évitant les mauvais conseils d’amis et de certains prédateurs célibataires pour qui "je suis pris" n’est pas un obstacle. Mais, lorsque leur attente semble tirer à sa fin, Erin décroche le job de ses rêves en Californie, tandis que la carrière de Garrett s’emballe à New York. Les grandes retrouvailles tant attendues pourraient les séparer pour de bon…à moins que leur amour ne tienne bon. (Warner Bros. FR)

I guess I hadn't seen an American comedy in a while, or I just had to see something this light-hearted at that moment. Or maybe it was the fact that I hadn't been to the cinema in a while and got carried away by the experience. I don't know. But I really was entertained the whole time, and I didn't even mourn the fact that the ending was what it was. Maybe it was helped by the fact that I enjoyed the dialogue (and what American romantic comedy can you say the same thing about?). I found the film quite believable on that level. So I closed the books and said to myself "Fuck it, why not just give this 4 stars?". X-D

An ordinary romantic spectacle with a likable central couple, an amusing Christina Applegate and nice opening credits, which are all pluses. But the film also has unnecessarily vulgar humor that I didn't find funny, a horrible man named Charlie Day in a supporting role (can anyone seriously claim that such an asshole is a comedian?) and the most clichéd script I've seen a hundred times, which are all negatives. Two and a half out of five, or pure average.

This romantic comedy has a huge charm to it. Especially since Justin and Drew really fell in love during the making of this film, so I didn’t have to force myself at all to believe their performances. Here it was simply clear from the first minute, when they drew attention to themselves with bright flashes in their eyes. And in the end, I had a really good time. It was obvious that the movie didn’t want to cater to mass tastes so at times it was harsh, crass and so on. But that that’s the beautiful thing about it, because life is exactly like that. On the other hand, it was a real pity that Justin had two great pals in this movie – Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day – but the creators just throw them aside without a moment’s hesitation. Even though that without them, the movie would have been only a half of what it was. Anyhow, it was a great movie, proving that love is love and that it emerges, perishes and develops in any form, and the usual clichés do not always apply. This is probably what I liked about it the most.

Drew Barrymore and Justin Long do have quite good chemistry between them, and they want to show us that even with a long-distance relationship, one shouldn't give up, but I simply wasn't entertained by the story. The romance at the beginning is nice, almost like something out of a rom-com, but then it's just the boring pitfalls of the relationship, which of course end well. It can't be any other way...
