Résumés(1)
Fred (Seth Rogen), un journaliste au chômage, a été embauché pour écrire les discours de campagne de Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), en course pour devenir la prochaine présidente des Etats-Unis et qui n’est autre... que son ancienne baby-sitter! Avec son allure débraillée, son humour et son franc-parler, Fred fait tâche dans l’entourage ultra codifié de Charlotte. Tout les sépare et pourtant leur complicité est évidente. Mais une femme promise à un si grand avenir peut-elle se laisser séduire par un homme maladroit et touchant ? (SND)

Un modèle traditionnel de comédie romantique, basé sur un couple non conventionnel, dont vous finirez quand même par croire à l'alchimie. Même si de justesse… Des blagues sexuelles pour adultes, des drogues, de temps en temps une honnêteté directe et quelque chose d'autre lui permettent facilement de ne pas tomber dans l'ennui propre à ce genre. Cette autre chose, c'est Charlize, dont à certains moments vous cessez d'écouter ce que son personnage dit (et vous vous en moquez).

A superb and charismatic Charlize Theron, an anti-sexy Seth Rogen and the classic romantic "sci-fi" template. It has its good moments, dirty humour and clouds of spontaneous vulgarities that are fitting, but it doesn't even remotely resemble something that could have happened in real life, not at all. No way. The allusions to Trump and the global warming situation are cool, they move the film from the category of dumb comedies into the category of relatively aware comedies.

Long Shot reminded me at times very vividly of an inverted version of Pretty Woman, maybe it was the song “It Must Have Been Love” by Roxette or purely because of the title couple, who just switch roles in a certain way compared in order to make female emancipation stand out. Both Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen deliver good performances, there was chemistry between them and I genuinely laughed at some of the scenes and physical gags – the "Molly" sequence got me the most. All the while, though, I felt like the film was missing something crucial that would make me remember it a week from now. That said, as a nicely made afternoon diversion, this film is perfect.

Charlize and Rogen go really well together. :-D An excellent feelgood comedy with loads of references and typical stoner gags. Following a formula is a matter of course in this genre, but this film has something to say. Whether it’s an environmental warning, strong women in top positions, neo-Nazis or political corruption, Rogen always comes up with at least one good joke that provokes discussion over a beer. Pretty Woman with Cumguy instead of a hooker.

For the first time in a while, a great romantic comedy, dominated by the charismatic Charlize Theron and the typically right-headed Seth Rogen. The film benefits most from the idea and the sheer chemistry between the two lead characters. Theron is running for president and Rogen has no job, style or manners. The biggest highlights are a high Charlize Theron negotiating with terrorists and Seth's drug paraphernalia during a security search. Very good, fresh and sweet. 80%.
