Spoiler Alert! Gripe about the movie Long Shot

SPOILER BELOW

It was going along just fine, the usual OK Seth Rogen movie featuring the gorgeous Charlize Theron and a lot of f-bombs. Then late in the movie, Seth's best friend, a successful rich black man, announces that he is a Republican, and kept it a secret because he knew how Seth would react. Seth was stunned. Then his friend announces that he is also a practicing Christian. Seth is blown away.

WTF! They hit us over the head with "see, there are very good people on both sides."

They really want us to believe that a Republican Christian is going to keep his shit a secret? He'd be that Blacks for Trump guy that stands behind Doofus at rallies.

Other than that, the movie wasn't bad. Wasn't great either.

There was some good GOP bashing too though. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #1
I totally agree. No chemistry between them. Croney May 2019 #2
Plus Seth is always so manic. He makes me nervous. Funtatlaguy May 2019 #3

Otherwise, a typical beauty and the beast movie.
I would have liked a different male lead like Luke Owen.
Seth was just not believable as the love interest.
