Long Shot

2019 · 125 min

A breezy, foul-mouthed romp that pairs sharp political satire with goofy charm and surprisingly sweet chemistry.

Tagline
Unlikely but not impossible.
Overview
Journalist Fred Flarsky reunites with his childhood crush, Charlotte Field, now one of the most influential women in the world. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter — much to the dismay of her trusted advisers.
