As mentioned , theLong Shotred band trailer features quotes from a number of the film ’s early positivist reviews . you’re able to check it out for yourselves in the space below ( courtesy ofLionsgate ) .
Based on the red banding trailer , Long Shotis less raunchy than most of the comedies that Rogen ’s had a hand in Centennial State - writing ( see : Superbad , Pineapple Express , Sausage Party ) and hews closer to the tone and style of managing director Jonathan Levine ’s premature movies . The filmmaker is far from a alien to ribald humor himself and even conduct Rogen in the holiday commonness - festThe Night Before , but his movies otherwise tend to fall more in comedy - drama territory . Long Shotis sure as shooting much more light - hearted than Levine ’s cancer dramedy50/50(which Rogen also star in ) , but it sounds like the flick is all the undecomposed because it plays out like an grownup rom - com , more than anything else .
Long Shotwas written by Dan Sterling ( King of the Hill ) and Liz Hannah ( The Post ) and , as those credentials would evoke , further manages to weave some sociopolitical comment into the mix , according to the other reviews . The film ’s scarlet band trailer confirm as much to be true , specially when Alexander Skarsgård pops up as a liberal Canadian Prime Minster who ’s clearly meant to be a riff on real - life Canadian PM Justin Trudeau . There are already a few mixed to minus revue which feel thatLong Shotstruggles to juggle its various writing style elements , so it ’ll be interesting to see if more critics feel that way or if the film only proceed to build positive bombilation over the next six weeks .
