Long Shot combines the ingredients of a Seth Rogen drugs/gross-out comedy with classic rom-com tropes and structures, resulting in an unexpectedly mature and successful piece of light entertainment. As is typical with the genre, the central pairing is completely unrealistic and unbelievable, but by playing against type to a large extent, Rogen delivers on the dramatic elements and Theron nails some terrific comedy moments. The plotting is familiar and the ending is somewhat anodyne, but the two leads really sell this movie that proves to be much better than expected.
