      [the farmer's sexy daughter, Josephine, crawls under the dining table and begins giving Dime a blowjob by surprise]

      Mother Libby: This darling young man has volunteered to say grace.

      Farmer Joseph: Go ahead, son.

      Dime: [struggling] Uh. Dear lord... thank you for giving us such a, succulent, meal. Bless us, and please forgive us for anything that we've done... or are doing right now. Do it, don't stop loving us, don't stop baby, please, don't stop. Uhh... And let us... swallow our sins and... oh... oh, Christ... OH, CHRIST! Praise Jesus!

    I don't watch ANYTHING twice, but I might do it for this for the laughs
    Going the Distance was amazingly cute. I kept expecting it to go tragically corny and predictable, and it did... But it did it in such a fresh and funny way I'd watch it again.

    I did enjoy the Canadian angle, that they never diluted, or make a joke of being Canadian. And they kept me entertained throughout, even if there were only 1 or 2 flat out laughs. Everything was funny, and the few jokes that were over the top were in great context

    Plus, the cameos were amazing. How they got great names to play bit parts in a straight to DVD movie was pretty cool.

    It's not a must see. But it is something you should see.
