Long Shot (2019)

 A recently unemployed journalist (Seth Rogan), gets a job as a speech writer for a Secretary of State with presidental ambitions (Charlize Theron), who was also his next door neighbor growing up and his childhood crush.  Guess what happens? I thought this romantic comedy/political fable struck the right balance, a pleasant/ boarderline endering watch. Rogan and Theron have a surprising chemistry. Also staring Bob Odenkirk as the sitting president, a former actor who played the president on a success TV series, and Andy Serkis under heavy makeup as basically Roger Ailes. ***
