Description

Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a gifted and free-spirited journalist with an affinity for trouble. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world. Smart, sophisticated, and accomplished, she’s a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for…well, mostly everything. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his babysitter and childhood crush. When Fred unexpectedly reconnects with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the dismay of her trusted advisors. A fish out of water on Charlotte’s elite team, Fred is unprepared for her glamourous lifestyle in the limelight. However, sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world romance and a series of unexpected and dangerous incidents.

    When Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) a skilled, principled if a bit crude Journalist reunites with childhood crush and former babysitter Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) a smart and accomplished woman who is now U.S Secretary of State who is going to make a run for president, Charlotte decides to hire Fred as her speechwriter for an environmental initiative. The two reconnect and romantic feelings begin to develop. Great chemistry between two likeable leads, you can see they genuinely like each other and you enjoy seeing them interact. They are both intelligent characters who think for themselves and aren’t manipulated by others or quick to make assumptions, like you might see in other romantic comedies. The film is really funny and feel good. O’Shea Jackson Jr is a standout supporting performance
  • Theron is great in this movie

    It’s a lot of fun, makes you laugh and there is great chemistry between Theron and Rogen. Theron is as good as she’s been in anything for a while. Really enjoyed this movie.

    Shouty stoner proves his sense of humour really did have a place somewhere in the 2000’s. Awful film. Charlize you’re way above this.
  • Pretty Funny.

    Ok this was pretty funny! Not quite the arc that’s presented in the trailer, a bit more stiff than that but still I give it 4 stars for trying & 3 for actual. A good attempt. Funny, current romantic comedy although there could have been more comedy!

    A terrible rom com with 16 year old humour. A google rom com film generator could have done a better job of writing this car crash.

    Didn’t expect much from this, but was pleasantly surprised. A lot of good humour, romance and a few positive social messages to boot.
  • Fantastic watch
