Long Shot

BBC1 10.45pm - 12.40am (Wales 11.15pm - 1.10am) ★★★★

PREMIERE COMEDY⊲ Svelte Charlize Theron and schlubby Seth Rogan won't strike you as an obvious romcom couple, but they hit it off hilariously here. She's a high-flying US politician who is about to announce a run for the presidency, and he's a bolshie journalist with an unerring aim when it comes to shooting himself in the foot. She also happens to be his former teenage babysitter. Sparks unexpectedly fly, however, when her campaign recruits him to punch-up her speeches. The result: some outrageous laughs and a lot of heart. Dir: Jonathan Levine 2019, 15
