Romancefest 2020: Long Shot


-->
Written by Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah. Directed by Jonathan Levine. Starring Seth Rogen, Charlize Theron, O’Shea Jackson, Jr. and June Diane Raphael. USA, 2019

A beautiful presidential candidate hires her schlubby childhood acquaintance to be her speech writer and love blossoms. Complications arise when their relationship is put to the test by parties who think the mismatched pair won’t look very good to voters.

This movie is just as charming as most other Seth Rogen vehicles, with similar ingredients: a little drug humor and a lot of improv. Charlize Theron also rises to the occasion in a rare comedic performance – she should do more comedies.
