Current Events > Just watched Long Shot, a mildly funny Seth Rogen movie with Charlize Theron

(+) Yeah! (+)

But mostly lame. It came out in 2019 and Seth Rogen really thought he could bring back the "movie about fat ugly guy with nothing of value to offer can score beautiful hot blonde" trope meme from the 2000s like knocked up and shit, as if anyone ever wanted to see that again.

But Charlize Theron is pretty great, her character is likable enough although they also make her character very wish fulfillmenty with stuff like not just being attracted to a scraggly neckbearded looking seth Rogen, but also immediately orgasming after he puts it in.

Seth Rogen plays this journalist who "tells it like it is" and is uncompromising in his soapbox morality, and so no news outlet will hire him. He ends up being hired by the vice president played by Charlize Theron, who wants to run for president after the current idiot former actor president resigns, and is juggling both her pro environment policies and pleasing the president to get his endorsement for her campaign so that she can win.

The 2 end up hooking up and falling in love throughout the course of the movie through pitfalls and pratfalls.

Movie does have some good scenes its just the premise that's ridiculously laughable.
