    Oddly mild and politically centrist-affirming for a movie about a woman who spends the majority of the movie trying to enact a climate-benefit policy. Also kind of exists in this weird in-between purgatory world where it's "so woke" and "not like those other RomComs where the guy gets the hot girl just because" but is simultaneously like... The slovenly ~nice guy~ still gets this political powerhouse stunner of a woman by the power of... Being himself? I guess. It's a very half measures movie, is what I'm saying. Moves towards one set of things but can't leave the other set behind. And so a movie with this middling a perspective, of course, gets the middling-est of ratings. Charlize is a fuckin' champ in this though, absolutely runs the show. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

    What I hate about the political people is that the right is dissing this because of the way it starts out and the environmental policies at the heart of the campaign... and the Left is saying how horrible it is because a Republican was Black, and had a point, and was still a good person. So, once more we have a film that you are not supposed to like because meh politics... but at least it's a film that both sides say you should hate. I guess that is progress. Other than that, Boyz 2 Men, got the biggest laugh out of me, which was kind of shocking given that this is a movie that is supposed to be a stupid and pointless comedy. And it is, and it's not the best stupid and pointless comedy out there, but, hey, these are throw away movies designed for mindless fun and that is how this film bills itself. It's supposed to be vulgar and hysterical and it is. And, once more, if you are not watching this to see a mindless and vulgar comedy... I don't know what you expected to see. The only real draw back is that Theron and Jackson kind of come across as the two funniest people, on a screen with Seth Rogen who was the comedian of the bunch... and kind of felt like he phoned this one in. But, other than that, you get exactly what you expect from it.

    US Secretary of State "Charlotte Field" (Charlize Theron) has some fairly stellar approval ratings ahead of her impending bid for the Presidency when she encounters "Fred" (Seth Rogan) at a swanky soirée. She the epitome of chic, he that of chavdom. It turns out they dated many moons ago and against the advice of her staff, she decides that he could be useful as her speechwriter. A stroke of genius or a fit of madness? Well the rest of this over-long comedy drama really only belongs to fans of Rogan - and I'm not one of them. There are a few scenes where Theron plays the comedy well - swallowing some molly before some sensitive diplomacy, but for the most part it's a rather tacky comedy with loads of expletives and low-level crassness, compensating for a really lacking script and a predictable storyline. It does try to take a swipe at the political establishment and at those vacuous folks atop it, and the ensemble supporting cast help a little, but it's all been seen before and at over two hours, I'm afraid I just struggled to get engaged with the either of them before the rushed conclusion.
