Long Shot

"Forget Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron being an unlikely romantic pairing in Long Shot—the thing I really did not see coming was that I would love the absolute hell out of this rom-com. Utterly unrelated to that previous sentence, for the love of God can cinemas please do something about the dust that got in my eyes (surely the only conceivable explanation for watery eyeballs each of the times I saw Long Shot, which in a weird double coincidence seemed to happen during specific scenes of swelling emotion)."

"More creepy than romantic, more chauvinist than empowered - and in all fairness, funnier and more entertaining than any comedy in months..."

"Eventually, a phoniness takes root in the script (credited to Dan Sterling and The Post's Liz Hannah), which morphs from scoring feminist points against a thinly veiled Fox News to selling out its Charlotte just when she needs her courage the most."

"Long Shot is a hilarious and heartwarming romantic comedy that will have audiences howling in shock and awwww."

"A razor-sharp political satire and the best rom-com since 2017's The Big Sick, Long Shot is also a love letter to the early 1990s."

"Romance aside, this is a comedy first and foremost, and an extremely appealing one at that. It's Rogen's funniest film since This Is The End, and Theron proves herself a very game partner-in-comedy."

"It's a refreshing and dare I say it potentially a timely prick to many an undiagnosed bias."

"Very funny whatever you think of its more old-fashioned notions, the picture will charm many viewers who can set implausibility aside for a while; it's certainly the most commercial film yet by The Wackness director Levine."
