Long Shot 2019

I was sold by the premise of this movie - Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen, "Say WHAT!?!" (Not to dismiss the appeal of a good Canadian male). But, unfortunately, our exported Canadian comedians seen to excell in low humour, so, I was prepared for this RomCom to be a little crass (even Seth said it was "dirty") but a whole plot point revolves around a pretty lewd act! Get with it, Canada. Elevate! We can be funny without rolling around in the mud. Otherwise, it was funny, it was adorable, it was full of human moments and real connections. Charlize was stunning. Good supporting cast with some stellar choices. (Charlize was sold enough on the project to be one of the producers.). I enjoyed it when I wasn't grossed out. So I rate this production a 7 (good) out of 10. It could have been an 8 (great) if it hadn't stooped to the lowest, male, preadolescent form of humour. [RomCom]

Charlize Theron and Seth Rogan oddly have really good chemistry in this movie. I love both of them for many reasons and this defintely isn't a normal role for Charlize if ya ask me but she pulled it off with little effort it seemed. Great uplifting overall story too. Probably the best rom-com if not straight comedy I've seen in a while. Defintely the funniest Seth Rogan has been in a few years.

I do enjoy Rom-Coms and this is a lot more comedy then Romance, and Seth Rogan has a gem in his hands. The trailer gives nothing away and I was laughing so much, and enjoyed every moment of it. Charlize Theron is surrounded by seasoned comedians in this movie that made it perfect and she shone through.

Really worth watching and enjoying

There are not many rom-coms that I can say I laughed as much as this. The trailer didn't show all the funny parts like most in the genre. I am hoping a second viewing will hold up but me and my wife both really enjoyed this movie.

this is terrible and the only people giving this 10/10 are people who want a chance to be with Charlize Theron. lol

If he took her name in real life he'd be known as Setheron

Tottally dissapointed with this one..Unrealistic all the way and Rogen here was annoying for me..I would rate it lower but this 4 is for godness Theron.Very weak plot

I love Charlize! I like Seth a lot. But I've never imagined them together in the same movie, much less being a couple in said movie. Surprisingly, their chemistry on screen is strong enough to make them feel like a genuinely cute, quirky, funny and loveable couple. And that chemistry keeps us entertained for the whole two hours, which is all I expect from a movie of this kind.

It's not the best movie ever, but it's a solid comedy with just the right amount of romance to not make you roll your eyes.

I gotta say this was A LOT better than I expected. Didn't go in with high expectations, so I was pleasantly surprised!

Plain and simple without over dramatizing it!
Keeping it real and low!
Good writing!

P.S-
Charlize Theron is an absolute gem to watch!

Based on just the trailers alone - it was kind of laughable that these 2 people would ever get together. However, after seeing the short backstory it made a lot more sense. Watching Theron & Rogen was akin to watching Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy (for you youngins go google them).

Good rom com...great raunchy performance by Charlise Theron and Seth Rogan is always funny. Good to see 2 opposites attract. Recommended.

Loved this super hilarious romantic movie
This movie starts off with two people who have known each other since they were younger and they have not seen each other since the girl called charlotte at 16 years of age and she used to babysit for a boy at the time was 13 year old called Fred and they both shared a romantic moment that year in the kitchen until life goes on. Then 25 years later they meet again Fred knowing exactly who she is, however, Charlotte remembers him not straight away until she thinks have, we met before so inviting him over to speak with her. We have in this romantic story two completely different people with a lot of history who you would not think would end up together such a lovely romantic story. I would highly recommend watching it as the script is on point and the acting is phenomenal.

The concept of Seth Rogen getting with Charlize Theron is already hilarious but this movie is funny besides that. This felt a little long but overall it's very enjoyable.

Seth Rogen never fails in this type of humor. I watched it late at night while everyone was asleep and i was told TWICE to stop laughing so much, as they needed to get up early. I'm sorry, i couldn't help it. Seth and Charlize have great on-screen chemistry. This was also seen in their interviews leading to the release of the film in theaters. A+ cannot wait to give this movie some time to sit, and i can go back and laugh, laugh, laugh some more .. !!!

I have a major pro bias for Seth Rogen. That aside, this movie was solid! Great humor, plucked my heart strings and made me reflect on myself. Seriously though, Seth Rogen is the man and i would give up weed to smoke one day with him. Who am i kidding. I'll never give that up!

A bit long compared to others in it's genre but dosen't drag at all. Movie is very funny and has better writing than I was expecting, Seth Rogen is great as well is Charlize Theron and they both have great chemistry definently a great watch.

What a great film! Loved every minute of it, they have some great chemistry in this film

loading replies

While not Seth Rogen's most funny film ever, this might be his best "non-raunchy" film! It is an incredibly easy watch, with great chemistry between the leads, enough jokes, and a solid story. I am sure I will watch this one plenty of more times!

Rating: 4/5 - 85% - Would Recommend

Better than I thought it would be. A nice moral about how we are all better off speaking our truth to the world rather than playing games to protect our vulnerability. And it was really funny. I laughed out loud the whole way through!

I went into this movie with low expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I think that based on the title (and Seth Rogen's inclusion in the cast) people probably expected it to be a typical rom-com filled with hacky site gags. While there are some funny scenes, the movie works best as a rather thoughtful drama. The title kind of cheapens the movie, but whatever. I don't know why Theron isn't a huge star as she is a fantastic actress. Rogen sometimes gets on my nerves (the stoner routine can get old) but I think he is perfectly cast in this movie.

Oh wow! I didn't expect much from the start, just wanted to waste my free time watching something light and fun, BUT not only the movie surpassed my expectations, it's also hilarious as hell! While the writing isn't that special and just slightly better than a standard rom-com, both leads had really great chemistry on screen and looked so CUTE together and it definitely helped making this movie many times more enjoyable. You should watch this!

It’s fun and relaxing. I like it.

I didn't expect to like this one as much as I did. In structure, it's a paint-by-numbers rom-com, but the humor is genuinely funny, and the characters behave in ways that are true to their character instead of chasing script beats. It's still a stretch that Theron's character would fall for Rogen's, but it's a minor gripe because they have actual chemistry on screen. It also shows that Rogen has something to actually say about politics, and so his character's arc feels genuine instead of just required for the movie to reach its conclusion. I'm not saying it's a deep thinker of a movie, but it has more authenticity than I've seen in similar movies before.

Oh, and Theron is mesmerizingly beautiful AND hilarious in this.

The story itself is adorable and Charlize Theron is not only magnificent as secretary of state - oh, what a wonderful dream that the US would elect someone like her for president..! The reality sure has taken a step in the right direction, but there's a long way to go.
Seth Rogen as Fred is like a very enthusiastic puppy - adorable, but a bit exhausting.

Seth Rogan is a mini-harvey-weinstein who annoys the hell out me, like covid. Every second Seth Rogen opens his wannabe cool bearded poser mouth I ask myself where are the other thousand actors that could’ve done this role 1000 times better. Then I realize he’s monopolized great roles because he keeps being given opportunities for good movies that should have other leading men. All of Rogans films are factories for his agent to push him into every single good potential comedy, while not being funny.

I would of loved this movie in theory — a brooklyn writers gets a gig for the secretary of state and sleeps with her — if not for Seth Rogan infecting it. The inauthentic nature of a Secretary of State falling for a moronic actor lends itself to these conclusions; Charleze took a payday to wh0re herself to Rogan, He devised this idea to hook up with Charleze because he’s a mini-Weinstein, and/or Studios have a totally zero diversity pool with a hard on for what they think could of saved Hilary.

For all the positive reviews out there, this felt pretty middle of the road to me (and pretty overlong). Rogen and Theron both play their roles well, and the supporting cast has their moments, but the laughs are lighter (and fewer) than you may hope for. At 2+ hours long, it presses the boundaries of your patience for a romcom. I think if it would have been tightened up a bit and maybe leaned a bit more on the comedy than the unlikely romance, it could have been a much more engaging film. However, at it's length, pace, and focus I found myself disengaged from time to time, but never outright gave up, so it did just enough to keep me with it.

Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron star in the political comedy Long Shot. When presidential hopeful Charlotte Field hires her childhood friend and political journalist Fred Flarsky as her new speech writer the two strike up a romance that could damage her chances. Rogen and Theron give solid performances and have chemistry together. However, the humor is pretty raunchy and crude (as Rogen films tend to be), and the left wing politics are as heavy handed as all get-out. Yet some of the jokes work, and there’s a positive message about overcoming one’s pride and not letting the opinions of others control you. Long Shot has its moments and delivers a few laughs, but the raunch and the politics get in the way and drag it down a bit.

A little overlong perhaps, but still an enjoyable comedy. Move over Trump - I'm voting Theron for President.

good, drama that captivates you from beginning to end of the movie

Ok that was pretty stupid funny romcom, but they both have excellent chemistry together and by themselves within scenes. I dont know that it really succeeded at setting out to do what it had planned, but it was a good ride! Theron really seems like she can take on any role and character and run it perfectly, I'm noticing that more and more with each of her films, whether they're good or not.

A wicked and surprisingly enjoyable political satire, with laugh out loud moments and great performances from the lead actors. I shall never look at Charlize Theron in the same way again.

This is an instant classic. Beautifully charming.

Really good story. Pretty funny, both leads killed it.

I liked this movie more than I first thought! Seth and Charlize had amazing chemistry, which is really weird if you think about it! Funny, vulgar and romantic, what more would you want from a modern rom-com!

I need help! How do I play the movies?

loading replies

Comedy, romance? Why isn't this also labeled as fantasy?
I can think of worse movies in these categories, but this one was a stretch for keeping the immersion. The actors did great, the story was crap.

I was a little bit skeptical at the start but the movie turned out great. Sweet movie.
