going the distance

Drew Barrymore works a sultry stare on the October cover of Harper's Bazaar. Under Drew's creative direction, the magazine took a trip back in time to the '60s, her favourite era, shooting her in vintage couture gowns from designers like Givenchy, Chanel, Valentino and Dior. The Going the Distance star just wrapped her promotional tour for the film, and now she's sharing more about her relationship with co-star Justin Long, growing up in the spotlight, her newfound independence and her body image. Drew said:

• On describing herself: "Not ambitious, arrogant, or cold. Lazy? No, I'm not lazy enough. Dominant—more so than people would think. I'm a total control freak and love to participate in the design of every single aspect of life."
• On her co-star Justin Long: "He's the cat's pajamas, I couldn't love, respect, admire and enjoy that individual more than I do. It would be physically impossible for me to have any more giggly joy at this person."
• On her body image: "I feel like some of my baby fat is going away, and that's not just physically, it's psychologically. I think that your body is in tune with your mind and your spirituality and your heart. If things are going better, I just think you look better."

Ah, the long distance relationship. Whether you've been in one yourself or stood witness to those that have, you're familiar with what that term entails, and more often than not, the results ain't pretty. But can a long distance relationship be funny? Going the Distance proves it can be — at least if you're on the outside of the separated couple. The couple in question is Garrett (Justin Long) and Erin (Drew Barrymore). Brought together by a mutual love of the arcade game Centipede, driven apart by the end of her Summer internship, Garrett and Erin decide they can't just let go after six weeks. Thus begins an experiment in 21st century long distance dating: many hours of excessive texting, phone sex, and Skype. Though the latest technology helps bridge the gap between New York and San Francisco, it's not a substitute for human interaction. Despite their strong chemistry, Garrett and Erin can't avoid the standard issues: stress, jealousy, and frustration of all kinds. So where do the laughs come in? To find out, just keep reading.
