Looks eh but good god Charlize Theron looks amazing.

 

[red731]

I need this. Bwahaha ed: there's should be more hshah, but I'll enjoy tho with wifey

 

[Ebullientprism]

Why they gotta dunk on my boy Devito like that? :(

 

[JDSN]

Is that Cartagena? Neat.

 

[Seesaw15]

I was just thinking "Its been a few years since Rogen has been a lead in a film. Guess he's transitioning to directing and producing stuff." Minutes later the trailer pops up on my Youtube feed lol.

Looks fine.

 

[Verelios]

Not interested in seeing it but pretty funny trailer.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Came on like it was a Nintendo Switch trailer.

 

[hodayathink]

They'd never let an unmarried woman that close to the presidency, though. We still haven't had an unmarried man there yet.

Other than that, yeah, that's a Seth Rogen comedy.

 

[Slayven]

Did she babysit him when she was 5 and he was a toddler?

*googles"

I wasn't far off with their ages

 

[Nappuccino]

Kinda like that there's a movie about an older woman for once. But I don't know, it looked pleasant, but that's all I got.

 

[mreddie]

Holy shit, I see articles that HE'S in this movie.

 

[The_hypocrite]

looks fun.

 

[Slayven]

Yeah it looks fun, not see it in theater fun. But I would watch on netflix

 

[Replicant]

Looks delightful.

 

[jon bones]

JUUUUUUNEEE!


Looks good, hope it turns out well

 

[carlsojo]

Looks like Knocked Up lol

 

[Meg Cherry]

Just got out of an early screening of this. Not bad! It's a funny, fairly clever romcom - Rogen & Theron have good chemistry. Got a pretty solid reaction out of the crowd.

Only real issue is that it seems like it is straining itself to be an uplifting romcom, while still being set in a facsimile of our current political hellscape. Creates a few awkward tonal shifts.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Using Modern Love will get me interested in anything

 

[henhowc]

I'd definitely watch this. Lol

 

[Brazil]

Looks fun.

I haven't watched a romcom in 15 years I feel like.

 

[Bowling Pin]

The comedy seems to be going for painful, awkward cringe, and I think I'm actually for it. Yeah, might catch this opening weekend.

"'I've been single for 10 years'

Her last serious relationship was with Sean Penn. The two were engaged but split in 2015.

[...]

Prior to Penn, she dated actor Stuart Townsend after meeting on the set of 'Trapped.' They split in 2010."

Is she pretending Sean Penn never happened? Ouch for him.
It's crazy she's been single for so long though. Apart from dying like an idiot in Prometheus, she seems great.

 

[HStallion]

This seems like a slightly altered Knocked Up

Seth Rogen is in a tons of political themed comedies. Is he trying to run for office or something?

 

[shaneo632]

Just saw an early screening of this - it was pretty hilarious. Does a nice job delivering the expected goods but with just enough subversion. Charlize killed it as expected.

sharp knees. Doesn't take care of her skin. Bad trigger discipline. Robot arm. Do not want.

Just saw the trailer for this a few days ago and was intrigued. Guess I'll put it on my list to watch. Haven't really seen a decent comedy in a while.

James Buchanan was single. My wife's sister just made her first movie and she was talking about maybe doing a film about him next.

 

[Chris1215]

My wife and I went and saw it and we both loved it. Great cast. My favorite rom com since crazy, stupid love

 

[Kevers]

I didn't realize from the commercials she was the secretary of state. I assumed it was just Seth Rogan trying to get with someone who looks like Charlize Theron.

 

[Strangelove_77]

I heard this was really good.

 

[Deer]

I'm very surprised, I usually dislike this kind of Rogen-centric stuff, but this looks pretty.. cute? lol Theron and Rogen seem fun together.

 

[Kain]

Man this woman is pure magic

 

[Extra Sauce]

I really enjoyed this movie except for one scene where it undercuts the whole "fighting climate change" aspect of its plot by implying that being a Republican is a valid position in 2019 and that you should be accepting of your friends even if they disagree politically. Yeah no, we're facing the extinction of the species if that party has its way. There's no friendship in that.

An unfortunate blemish on an otherwise pretty woke screwball comedy.

 

[ThLunarian]

I just saw this and it was great. The scene about being friends with Republicans was a little ehhhh, but literal Donald Trump doesn't exist in this film's world (only a less vile, less racist, more palatable version of him does), and the scene is less than 5 minutes long so I can excuse it.

The movie takes a lot of risks and I think most of them worked very well. Funny, engaging, and uplifting. Solid A from me.

 

[Blue Skies]

This is $1 for rent on iTunes. Watching it and it's pretty funny.

 

[HylianSeven]

I didn't know about this movie and just watched it with my wife and the inlaws. It was quite good! Definitely don't sleep on this one. I know it's not Oscar worthy or anything, but not every film has to be. It's funny and clever, and also relatable to the world today.

If you need any further convincing, it's 81% on Rotten tomatoes, which is solid.

 

[Deleted member 18025]

Charlize Theron ages like fine wine.

 

[NewDayMarch]

Watched this recently with my partner, and boy did I hate the ending. Just completely bizarre and unbelievable. The...what would you call it...Epilogue? Was fun though.

June Diane Raphael stole a lot of her scenes.
