Long Shot (2019)

A Goldberg/Rogen production, which is a sweeter, though more lightweight, version of their typical joints. Gently amusing throughout, a strong supporting cast, and Theron and Raphael get good comedy stuff to do (unlike, say, Knocked Up or Superbad where the lead female actor gives a good performance but isn't given any comedy to do). It doesn't have a lot of bite to it, though, and by the end it surrenders to the standard romcom beats, and some of the supporting characters get left by the wayside.
Recommended as a fun, sweet watch but it's not up there with This Is The End, The Interview etc.
Rating: Good
