This is an amazingly awesome romantic comedy movie that came out in the recent times.
Long Shot is based on a story line of this lady, Charlotte (the super gorgeous and super duper beautiful Charlize Theron), who wants to run for the President but is a Secretary of State for now and falls in love with her long lost and found now, neighbour, Fred, played by the very talented Seth Rogen. What happened between them when he was 13 is hilarious. Seth is a fine actor.
There are so many funny characters in this movie that it’s a humorous roller coster ride all the way till the end. Like the President himself who wants to leave everything to go back to do TV and films, The Wembley old uncle who just wants to get close to Charlotte, and then the Canadian PM who always wants to take Charlotte to his room. Not to forget Charlotte’s two key staff Maggie and Tom (Ravi Patel) both are funny.
Charlize herself is a good at any role! I still remember her in Mad Maxx and I cannot take her out of my mind. I have seen Mad Maxx so many times mostly for her (for action sequence also). She is killing it here too.
The storyline is smooth, fast paced, very basic, not complicated at all, its not a thriller, its an easy going rom com and it fits the bill, worth the money I spent. I saw this one in Jakarta, Indonesia for IDR55000, relax it’s just INR275 🙂
Am going with 4 out of 5 stars. And 1 star is especially allocated for the gorgeous beauty called Charlize Theron. FYI, she is 43 and looks like a twenties girl.
