Some of the jokes will make you laugh while also feeling like you want to take a shower - and it wears its stereotypes like a cardboard crown - but "long shot" ends up being a clever and effective romcom with plenty to say about politics and the media, despite its implausibility. It also sets a frenetic pace in one-liners, sick burns and comic set pieces, including its own homage to "something about mary". While it gives off some queasy incel vibes, it also manages to be both funny and warm.
"Long shot's" by the numbers romcom structure is fully present and correct, but like most all good examples of the genre, it plays the laughs and emotions like a sweet and funny love song.
