Long Shot (2019) Directed by Johnathan Levine - Runtime 2H 5M
Journalist Fred Flarsky reunites with his childhood crush, Charlotte Field, now one of the most influential women in the world. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter and sparks fly.
Top Billed Cast
Charlize Theron, Seth Rogan,June Diane Raphael, O'Shea Jackson Jr.
My Review
Possibly marketed as a comedy but I would describe it as a love story. The comedy and romance combination creates an authentic relatable energy to the movie. Charlize and Seth must be good actors because the chemistry of their characters is really satisfying to watch. If you ever wonder if true love exists as i always am this may inspire you.
