Long Shot (2019)
7/10
Interesting, even good

A good movie that I don't regret watching. I like Seths movies and his approach to romantic comedies. The two leads do a good job in filling their roles, the humor was on point, but yeah, the title is true: It is a very long shot that these two fall for each other. The viewer has to let go of realism more than often and just accept, that the two are in love for whatever reason. Once you stop thinking about this the film is fun. It has the typical story line of Intro, love scene, catastrophy and reunion, but that's ok.

Seth's character can get a bit annoying and exxagerated in times, but I guess that's just part of the comedy part.

The movie strongly reminded me of "Zack and Miri Make a Porno". Seths characters are very identical, tongue-in-mouth and using a lot of f-words, he falls for and eventually gets a girl way above his own weight-class and even wording and flow of the dialoge seems similar, but it's still very enjoyable. Compare the final "we are married now" scenes for example.

Seth is a good actor for Rom-Coms, but I hope he will not make the same identical movie over and over again. He should venture out into other genres, that would be great.
