Movie review: Long Shot fails to score as either romance or comedy

Charlotte (Charlize Theron) is the immensely poised and very single Secretary of State. Rabble-rousing journalist Fred (Seth Rogen) is a man who bumbles his way through life. They meet by accident and find that they knew each other as teenagers, but lost touch after an embarrassing incident involving Fred's untameable reaction to physical contact with Charlotte.
