The movie's lack of political substance empties out the relationship at its center; having little to work with and little to hold them together, the actors appear to be meeting each other for the first time in every scene.

I generally like Rogen a lot but this performance is bad - worse than it even seems because of the drain it is on the movie.

| May 7, 2019

Crass, but satirically-pointed...it's a film with benevolence, which likes its characters...

| May 6, 2019

Rogen, Theron, and a handy cast of supporting stars (including June Diane Raphael and O'shea Jackson Jr. as Fields's hands-on head of staff and Fred's jovial best friend, respectively) make the movie float where its vague satire sinks.

Some gags could be sharper but the gender-fluid chemistry between the leads is a joy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2019

A crowd-pleasing charm bomb of a movie that combines intelligence and a sexual spark to explosively funny ends.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 5, 2019

Theron is great, the Oscar-winner proving once again there's practically nothing she can't do once the cameras start rolling.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 4, 2019

Clearly, Theron can turn her hand to any genre.

| May 4, 2019

None of this would work if Rogen and Theron weren't so winning and if Fred and Charlotte didn't seem to genuinely like each other so much.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 3, 2019

But laziness, a common flaw of this star's man-child characters, seeps into the whole movie: It can't be bothered to convince us that this particular goofball could or even should win the girl.

| Original Score: C | May 3, 2019

It may not work as a movie, but as a love story, it's got great appeal.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 3, 2019

It's "Veep," but less absurdly acid-tongued, and a lot more swoony. Still, the incisive cultural and political commentary cuts deep, and Theron and Rogen turn out to be a winning pair.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 3, 2019

One of the best romantic comedies of the decade.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2019

Long Shot works because it is built on the strong platform of taking two interesting people, putting them in situations where comedy feels natural and telling a love story that grows at a natural rate. This is sure to be a winning ticket.

| May 3, 2019

Long Shot is too fixated on the supposed absurdity of its romantic pair to spend much time considering them as people.

| May 3, 2019

There's something obnoxious about the way director Jonathan Levine and his screenwriters, Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah, play these two polar opposites against each other.

| Original Score: C- | May 3, 2019

[I]t's funny, uproariously so at times, and funny forgives a lot.

| Original Score: B | May 3, 2019

Eventually, a phoniness takes root in the script (credited to Dan Sterling and The Post's Liz Hannah), which morphs from scoring feminist points against a thinly veiled Fox News to selling out its Charlotte just when she needs her courage the most.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2019

With a dream-team ticket of all-star talent, "Long Shot" could sweep the popular vote for best comedy of 2019.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 3, 2019

Casting Theron as a statuesque alpha is no stretch, yet the fun here lies in watching this performer relax around Rogen in a way few recent projects have allowed her to do.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 3, 2019
