The new romantic comedy Long Shot could have just as easily been called She’s Out Of His League 2. The idea that a schlubby journalist (Seth Rogen) could win over the heart of a much-loved politician (Charlize Theron) with her eye on the White House sounds as outlandish as suggesting a reality show star could become president.

One half is Fred Flarsky (Rogen), a journalist who is still clinging to the principles of research, reporting and writing. He finds himself without a job and runs into Charlotte Field (Theron), a rising political star who just happened to be Flarsky’s babysitter.
