Long Shot

Charlize Theron is the U.S. Secretary of State about to run for president. Seth Rogan is the schlub from her past who pushes her down the path of her destiny by reminding her that she actually cares about things and people, not just about getting elected. These two have great chemistry on screen and the story is charming while reminding us of the crazy political/media driven world we live in. In fact, this reminder, comedic but poignant, is what makes this film more than a standard rom-com. We are able to laugh at them and ourselves and walk out thinking "oh, that is more real than we want to admit".
4 stars (out of 5)
