Is LONGSHOT worth to see?

Since I'm getting older I often see romantic comedy films. Not because I don't want 'kilig' in my life but I think I graduated from the stories that only make your heart flutters and believe in happy endings.

I was glad to see the advanced screening of Long Shot last Monday, April 29 at Sm Megamall Cinema 7.  

Thank you Play FM for the free tickets.

I invited a friend, my cousin and she tagged along with her husband. 

I was hesitant that men were with us because come on; they were going to watch a movie that they don't prefer much. Yet, I was very awed when they were laughing and they seemed not to be bored.

I tried not to spoil the film with the things that I listed below why you should watch it too.

1. Charlize Theron

The 'Goddess', I must say! She was so mesmerizing to see on the big screen. She is Charlotte Field, the Secretary of State of the United States who plans to run for the presidency in 2020. She eyes the seat and will do everything to be the first woman president of the country. There are some points to improve though so her popularity would be increased and one of them is her humor. I like her character, she is sophisticated and respectable as a government official, smart and very focuses as a person but she doesn't date and she only rest a little. You have to see her doing micro napping.

2. Seth Rogen

Not a fan of this comedian because I didn't understand most of what he said. But, I find him hilarious and humorous as Fred Flarsky, the unemployed journalist.

He knows what he's capacity to do but at times he is reckless and makes some stupid stuff. He had a crush with Charlotte when they were young. Though he falls in love with her, he won't compromise her reputation and her dream of becoming the president.

3. The Supporting Allies

I hate and like Maggie, one of Charlotte's key staffers because she is protective of her but she is also against Fred as part of their team.

Fred's best friend, Lance is funny and understanding. And he is the one that made Fred realize to follow his heart and stop being selfish.

4. Advocacy and Dirty Politics

Caring for the environment is Charlotte's main platform for her presidency and it is relatable for what we need at the moment. Sadly, not everyone appreciates it for the sake of the money.

They are individuals who become rich with their own agenda.

5. Hello there Manila!

As part of Charlotte's campaign, she travels as a representative of the US and one of the countries that she visited was Manila. I was giddy that they made research because there was a famous brand in the background! However, they have shown how unsafe our country is with that scene and yes, I felt bad. Yet, they retracted the scenario with the beach somewhere in our country.

PerksBe WithYou Rating: 9/10 (The plot is superb for me and I was laughing most of the time. There were parts though that I found dull.)
