Yes, of course, there have been innumerable dashes to the airport, in which (usually) the guy runs to the gate or onto the plane itself to apologize, propose marriage, or just beg the girl not to go. “Going the Distance,” crisply directed by Nanette Burstein from a better-than-average script by the first-timer Geoff LaTulippe, acknowledges this convention and slyly subverts it. The airport scene happens at the end of the first act, and the guy makes it only as far as the check-in line, where he tells the girl that he will miss her and hopes they can find a way to keep in touch. The two of them — Garrett and Erin, played by Justin Long and Drew Barrymore — live in a universe of quietly lowered romantic and professional expectations. He works in the music industry, she is an aspiring newspaper reporter, and the movie acknowledges the grim circumstances prevailing in both of their chosen fields without being too apocalyptic about it. Garrett has a low-level job at a record label, Erin is an intern at a New York daily before heading back to finish graduate school in California (where she lives with her sister and waits on tables for money), and both of their ambitions are hedged by a sense of diminished possibility.
