Long Shot (2019 Jonathan Levine)

Presidential candidate Charlize Theron and louche journalist Seth Rogan knew each other as teenagers; she enlists him to help with her campaign and they fall in love.

Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah's screenplay isn't exactly original - in fact it's a classic romantic comedy of old - but it has fresh treatment and good humour, and the stars work.

With June Diane Raphael (who we thought was good already in Grace and Frankie; and was also in The Disaster Artist), O'Shea Jackson Jr, Ravi Patel, Bob Odenkirk and Andy Serkis (!) as the media mogul.
