STONER COMEDY
Long Shot
Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen play an unlikely couple at the center of this likeable political comedy from Jonathan Levine. It’s a role Rogen has played before (see Knocked Up). Fred (Rogen) and Charlotte (Theron) connect at a party. She’s Secretary of State and he’s a journalist who just lost his job. Their connection? Charlotte was once his babysitter! After she hires him as her speechwriter, sparks begin to fly, helped by an impromptu Ecstasy trip (Charlotte to Fred: "I want to smoke a Molly with you"). From the first-half high-jinks to the second-half dramatic turns, Levine take viewers on a memorable ride. HBO, Prime, YouTube
