 DREW BARRYMORE plays Erin, an aspiring journalist who falls in love with Garrett, played by JUSTIN LONG. For the actress, who has played sweet, uncomplicated young women in films like 'The Wedding Singer' and 'Never Been Kissed', the dilemmas faced by her character in 'Going The Distance' were refreshingly relevant, “Erin is a very tough girl. I like her bravado. She’s strong. I’m glad to play a character that is emblematic of changes that I’m going through. In my twenties, I was in more of a fairy tale stage. I feel a lot more realistic about things now.” Both characters are in the throes of transition, both emotionally and professionally. “Garrett’s the typical guy in his mid- to late-twenties,” Long describes. “He’s kind of floating around in relationships, not knowing what he wants. It’s something that I’ve been through, and what a lot of my friends have been through. Garrett ends up having these couple-month-long relationships with all these different girls and not really finding anybody that excites him. Then he runs into Erin in a bar.” Read more from our 'GOING THE DISTANCE' exclusive HERE. Watch an exclusive Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Justin Long clip HERE.
