Long Shot: Reviews and Rumors (Seth Rogen and Theron)
Long Shot is a massive vulgar misfire despite Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron
- Long Shot is a misnomer for the movie pairing of Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen, but not for reasons that seem obvious.
- Theron’s character Charlotte Field, seeking the U.S. presidency after proving her savvy as secretary of state — is the opposite of unlikely.
- The field is modeled in part on Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state who entered the 2016 presidential race as the front-runner and who came within an orange hair of winning it.
- The film’s secondary conceit, that a stunner like Theron/Field would fall for a schlepper like Seth Rogen’s journalist character Fred Flarsky, is also far from far-fetched. Opposites attract, as any glance around the world will confirm.
How Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen gave 'Long Shot' its 'secret power'
- The new movie “Long Shot” brings together the combined talents of Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron, both as stars on-screen and capable, committed producers behind the scenes.
- Theron plays Charlotte Field, the current U.S. secretary of State preparing for a run for the presidency. Rogen plays Fred Flarsky, an idealistic muckraking journalist for an alternative newspaper.
- The two know each other from childhood, and after she hires him to be her speechwriter, they find a mutual attraction blooming.
- The unlikely mix of comedy, romance, and politics, which Lionsgate releases in theaters nationwide Friday, is a collaboration between the stars’ producing teams: Rogen and his partners Evan Goldberg and James Weaver, along with Theron and her partners A.J. Dix and Beth Kono.
‘Long Shot’ Review: Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen Give Good Heart
- “Long Shot” isn’t going to save the romantic comedy, but it’s an adrenaline shot of pure pleasure to the genre’s failing heart.
- The romantic comedy turns on people who fit together; in bed, on the dance floor; but also talk to each other, exchanging words that stop flowing and faltering only with a culminating kiss and teasing fade-out.
- In “Long Shot,” Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), the secretary of state of the United States, and Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen), a struggling journalist, talk a lot.
- They connect while attending a charity event; Boyz II Men is crooning onstage; spotting each other across a crowded room.
- “Long Shot” humorously skitters over these and other hurdles, including the imperative that powerful single women must have men by their side, mostly to make everyone feel comfortable with all that female power.
Famous For
- For his movies Knocked Up (2007), Funny People (2009) and Steve Jobs (2015).
