The Stream Tracker team takes a look at Going the Distance (2012), a coast-to-coast rom‑com about Erin and Garrett, two lovers trying to keep a long‑distance relationship alive with webcams, frequent‑flyer miles and late‑night airport layovers. Set between San Francisco and New York and laced with music‑scene and newsroom details, the film follows their attempts to turn virtual dates into a real reunion — until career breaks threaten to turn their itinerary upside down. In this article we’ll check where you can stream Going the Distance: whether it’s on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+, and whether it’s available to rent or buy if it’s not included with a subscription. The film wasn’t a major awards contender and didn’t collect notable prizes, but it remains a snapshot of long‑distance love in the digital age — ideal for anyone who’s ever logged on for a midnight webcam date.
Synopsis
Erin and Garrett are deeply devoted to each other, but their relationship is strained when Erin moves to San Francisco to finish her journalism studies while Garrett stays in New York to pursue a career in the music industry. They keep the spark alive with late-night video calls and frequent trips, believing the distance is temporary. Just as a long-awaited reunion seems possible, both land career-making opportunities that threaten to keep them apart permanently.
