Vote of Confidence: Unlike his equally impossible coupling in Knocked Up, Rogen actually has a genuine chemistry with Theron. They’re insatiable together, but not immediately. Sterling and Hannah take their time developing their bond, threading out their past history as they build upon their current state of affairs, which allows us to share their anxiety, their attraction, and their passion..

Both are dialing it back to 2011, too, with Rogen channeling that chummy heart he brought to Levine’s 50/50 and Theron dusting off those stoic-turned-reckless vibes she nailed to perfection in Jason Reitman’s Young Adult. Yet they each carry a self-awareness in their performances that acknowledges how crazy this all is, which makes the eventual pairing that much more effective and redemptive.

In one particular sequence, Theron must calm down Rogen, who’s frantically pacing around screaming in the midst of a harrowing terrorist attack. She instructs him to use a Naval breathing method she’s learned herself, to which he obliges as he sits next to her. Yeah, you know where this goes, and so do they, but even then, in The Moment, there’s a mutual doubt that feels all too palpable.

Levine works damn hard to earn these snapshots, layering the couple’s near-episodic exploits with rare moments of solidarity. In fact, some of the film’s most powerful sequences are the furthest away from the laughs and the hubbub, whether it’s Rogen enjoying an early morning at the beach set to Frank Ocean or Theron wrestling with her thoughts in transit or alone at home. The tranquility in this is sublime.

But so are the more abrasive moments. Sterling and Hannah get creative with the larger-than-life premise and put Rogen and Theron through the wringer. Both are always game and both always find a way to add some humility to the mix, particularly Theron, who more or less runs away with the movie for a good 20 minutes after she insists upon trying out MDMA. No lie: Some of her best work onscreen.

All-Star Cabinet: O’Shea Jackson and June Diane Raphael both play the expected close friend archetypes for Rogen and Theron, respectively, but they actually feel like a part of their world as opposed to rudimentary appendages. Jackson oozes with contagious charisma, while Raphael couldn’t be more biting with her humor, and both add a great deal of thematic weight to the film.

Behind them is a supporting cast comprised of a glutton’s worth of comics, most of which reads like an annual guest list for Earwolf. Ravi Patel adds another oomph of levity to Theron’s core staff, Odenkirk skates over parody as the aforementioned president, Paul Scheer steals a minute of screen time as a FOX News-esque talking head, and even Randall Park drops by.

Elsewhere of note is Alexander Skarsgård as a Justin Trudeau stand-in, Andy Serkis as an unrecognizable, villainous double for Rupert Murdoch, and, you know, all three members of Boys II Men. Seriously, the familiar faces never stop coming.

The Verdict: Perhaps one of the reasons why Long Shot doesn’t feel so out-of-hand is because, well, take a look around America right now. If anything, the film is tame by comparison, idealistic even, but not without reason. These aren’t great times, and Long Shot is well aware of that, which is why it hardly pulls its punches as it snubs everything from New Media to the lack of bipartisanship. Yeah, these are the richer subtleties of the movie, admittedly, but they also explain why Long Shot is so effective.

As with any rom-com, there’s a sense of escapism at hand, and Long Shot goes beyond just offering a chance at cheering for an unlikely couple. No, there’s something fundamentally optimistic and uplifting about the film, and part of that embalming effect is the way it puts so much faith in America. While some may write that off as preachy — and others most certainly will dub it “liberal porn” — there’s a prescient warmth to that notion that gives Long Shot an added edge over the genre’s traditional fare.

Politics aside, Long Shot is a major win for Levine, Rogen, and Theron, who defied the odds to deliver an instantly re-watchable hit. It’s sexy, it’s funny, it’s smart, it’s topical, and, above all, it’s exactly what some people need right now.
