Long Shot is one of the best rom-coms I’ve seen in a while, mainly because the story and acting is good, even though the ending falls into those stupid rom-com tropes!!!

Real Rating 4 Stars

What I Like:

-I’m never a fan of rom-coms, but this one had a pretty interesting story, and the execution is pretty good, I actually cared to see what is going to happen
-I really enjoyed the chemistry between Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron, it really looked like there was something genuine

The So So:

-The comedy portion for the most part was pretty funny, I enjoyed Seth Rogan’s character, Fred, rants about anything political, but there were some raunchy parts where I’m like, was it really necessary?

What I Didn’t Like:

-The last part of the movie really falls heavily on the stupid rom-com tropes which was really disappointing for me, everything was executed well, but in the end, it laid its egg in the tropes that I do genuinely hate

Overall:

It is not your typical rom-com. I thought it had a good and interesting story with some fine acting. It gives me inspiration that a guy like Seth Rogan can actually get with a woman of Charlize Theron’s caliber. Let alone, a powerful woman who happens to be Secretary of State and running for President. Yes the rom-com tropes at the end really is a sore spot, but in the end, Seth Rogan’s comedic charm and Charlize Theron’s elegance made it a spectacle to watch!!!
