Long Shot (2019) - Blu-ray Forum

Creed · 02-15-2019, 03:34 PM

Quote:

He’s a hard-hitting political writer with a talent for trouble. She’s the country’s top diplomat with a talent for...well, everything. When Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) reunites with his first crush who also happens to be the current US Secretary of State, Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a surprise run for the Oval Office, Charlotte hires Fred to punch up her campaign speeches and their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world affair. But Fred’s carefree indiscretions, past and present, could bring down her campaign before it even begins. The film redefines “international relations” with a profane, funny and unexpected love.

From the celebrated team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, creators of outrageous comedy hits including SAUSAGE PARTY, NEIGHBORS franchise, and KNOCKED UP, LONG SHOT also features O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Den of Thieves, Straight Outta Compton), Andy Serkis (Black Panther, Planet of the Apes), June Diane Raphael (The Disaster Artist, Grace & Frankie), Ravi Patel (TV’s Master of None) and Alexander Skarsgård (TV’s Big Little Lies and The Legend of Tarzan).

Looks good!
Unfortunately it'll flop. I'm pretty sure about that.

Week after Avengers: Endgame, yeah.....

Unless it counter-programs well.

kylor · 02-15-2019, 03:40 PM

Andy Serkis is in this? Interesting. I'll give this a (long) shot.

AaronJ · 02-15-2019, 03:50 PM

This looks really good, and I love the leads (and the rest of the cast for that matter).

Yikes! I feel bad for her.

Dear Charlize,

Stop looking so damn fine.

Someone on Facebook said the casting is bad because no secretary of state looks like Theron. lol

Star Lord · 02-15-2019, 04:29 PM

You gotta be kidding me, lol.

Chaotic · 02-15-2019, 04:30 PM

Casting is not bad, but he sure is right about no one (especially Politicians

) looking like Theron.

Foggy · 02-15-2019, 05:00 PM

I dunno, I’m kinda bored of these middle of the road Seth Rogen comedies now.

Why am I not surprised.

"Unlikely But Not Impossible" could've been the tagline for KNOCKED UP...I like Rogen and love the caustically funny Theron, though I'll admit that trailer ain't great and director Jonathan Levine has yet to make anything truly memorable. Can you imagine if a Secretary of State looked like Charlize Theron? The only way to level the playing field would be to have Amber Heard Speaker of the House and Margot Robbie Secretary of the Interior.

To be fair, few women in any profession look like Charlize.

CelluloidPal · 02-15-2019, 11:21 PM

Not really interesting. But then again, I haven't really seen anything from Jonathan Levine that I can say that I liked. (The less said about Snatched, the better)

I did like All the Boys Love Mandy Lane well enough. But maybe that's just because Amber Heard is in it.

Anyway, Liz Hannah, one of the two writers, co-wrote The Post and I liked that. Plus, I'm more into this for the cast than anything.

Not bad at all. May 3rd. I'll add it in my calendar.
