"Going the Distance" is a 2004 Canadian teen/comedy film directed by Mark Griffiths, and written by Eric Goodman and Kelly Senecal. A road movie set across Canada, its tagline was "They came. They saw. They came." The film was released in Canada as "Going the Distance", but for American release the film's title was expanded to "National Lampoon's Going the Distance". The Canadian DVD release retains its original release title.

Produced by Brightlight Pictures and the first film underwritten in part by MuchMusic, "Going the Distance" was a brand extension for the music television channel and a foray into theatrical feature films by MuchMusic's corporate parent CHUM Limited.

Recent changes to Telefilm Canada funding rewarded the producers of domestic films that were commercial successes in English Canada, and "Going the Distance" was a bid for such success. Released at the same time as "Without a Paddle", a Hollywood movie attracting the same male-skewing teen comedy demographic, "Going the Distance" performed much more poorly at the Canadian box office in spite of wide promotion, and was considered a box office bomb.

Plot summary

Nick (Jacot), whose life seemed to be going perfectly, realizes he may lose his girlfriend to a famous music producer (Priestley). He sets out on a roadtrip from the west coast to go to the MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, along with two buddies, for the road trip of their lives.
