"Long Shot is a major win for Levine, Rogen, and Theron, who defied the odds to deliver an instantly re-watchable hit. It’s sexy, it’s funny, it’s smart, it’s topical, and, above all, it’s exactly what some people need right now." ... Read full review

James Berardinelli | May 1, 2019
"Long Shot, a production that’s as much a fantasy in the political realm as in the romantic one, is a pleasant trifle that leaves behind a warm fuzzy feeling, which is all one can realistically ask of movie of this sort." ... Read full review

Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang | May 2, 2019
"At times it might remind you of a slightly edgier version of the genteel White House romances that flourished in the mid-’90s, like Dave and The American President. Long Shot may nod overtly to a world under threat by terrorism, corruption and climate change, but it also yearns for a gentler, less polarized moment in our political discourse." ...

"You could argue that such silly satisfaction comes with the territory, but although I enjoyed the snap of Long Shot, I couldn’t help remembering how “Roman Holiday” (1953) — another film about a lowly journalist who falls for a higher being — draws to its wrenching close." ... Read full review

Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer | May 3, 2019
"Just in case we don’t register the mismatch, Rogen is outfitted to look especially shlubby, and he sports an unbecoming beard that never comes off. With his crack timing, he still manages to get a few laughs, but he would have gotten a whole lot more if the jokes were any good. Theron, meantime, is photographed in full glamour mode throughout. This is probably just as well, since, as an actress, she doesn’t appear to have a comic bone in her body. Therein lies the true mismatch in this coupling. " ... Read full review

Charlize Theron falling in love with Seth Rogen is not a very believable storyline, but that's kind of the point in Long Shot. The thing is,Charlize Theron falling in love with Seth Rogen is not a very believable storyline, but that's kind of the point in Long Shot. The thing is, though, that's really all there is to it. Charlize is the Secretary of State and Seth eventually becomes her speech writer (they know each other from middle school), and she falls in love with him. It is just a normal romantic comedy otherwise. It was a joy to watch but so are most average romantic films.… Expand

Bref, une bonne grosse merdasse ultra conne dans laquelle s’est fourvoyée la toujours jolie Charlize qui s’égare un peu trop de temps à autre dans ce genre de déchets… nous en sommes très affligé pour elle (c’est le nous royal qui parlons, bien entendu) car elle vaut beaucoup mieux que cela ! l’argent facile je présume…!

Mais ça n’a pas dû être facile de tourner avec le gros connard de débile profond Seth Rogen, l’habitué mongolo des films de golios de ce sous-genre ! nous la plaignons et compatissons… d’autant que cette merderie dure deux putains de plombes ! un truc de fous… et surtout de gros débiles de gros cons mongoloïdes à chier.… Expand
