Justin Long Praises Critic Who Slammed Him

Not every actor in Hollywood has the ability to stomach the harsh reviews directed at them by critics, but Justin Long is not just any actor.
The 'Going the Distance' star took Movieline critic Michelle Orange's cutting review of the film - and Long personally - in stride, reciting her tirade on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' and penning a witty, good-natured response to her criticisms. Long, who is described in Orange's review as "a milky, affectless mook with half-formed features and a first day of kindergarten haircut," told Fallon that the writer's insults were "so bad that it set the bar, I think, for insults for me."
As reported by
NY Mag, Long's response made it clear that he had no hard feelings toward Orange, whose writing he called "thoughtful and insightful."
Orange also added that the actor was "[punching] several classes above his weight" looks-wise with girlfriend
Drew Barrymore, but he was fine and responded sweetly by writing, "I absolutely agree with you too, I'd be hard-pressed to hold a candle to even a fraction of Drew's beauty - in my humble opinion, she's the most beautiful girl in the world."
Long, who insisted that his enjoyment of Orange's piece was in no way sarcastic, showed off his leading man charm and extended the olive branch to the writer, saying, "Keep up the good work and I'll try to pick better projects (though I did love filming that one) but short of some reconstructive surgery, unfortunately there's nothing I can do about my mug (blame god and/or my parents on that one). Take care and hopefully one day our paths will cross so I can compliment you in person ."

Actually, I can't hate on him for that response, but he is a bad actor.
He should just be happy being "Mac" and banging Drew.

I think Justin Long is a great actor and a hottie to boot! Don't change your "mug" Justin! You're great just the way your are!

I love Justin Long...I have always enjoyed his movies and he seems like a really nice person. Critics are cruel and should look into a mirror once in a while to actually see how ugly that are on the outside as well as the inside. Justin has always been a great actor. Keep up the good work Justin, and you showed who was the better person with your responses to that HACK.

Dear Mr. Long,
There are many places in the Bible that say the wise listen to those who correct/instruct them. The foolish listen to those that flatter them.
Proverbs 9:7 " He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that rebuketh a wicked man, getteth himself a blot".
Your choice seems to imply you know this already.
