Really nice romantic comedy carried mostly by good cast and clever writing. The balance between romance and comedy works and leans slightly towards the latter having enough funny jokes to hold the movie. The writing is witty and somewhat original. Not everywhere, but for the majority it feels so. It's not that all jokes land well, but there are enough that do, which kept me entertained through the whole movie. And while non of them made me grab my belly, they were certainly funny. Somehow, the writers also managed to avoid the obvious territories, such as sex and toilet jokes. The cast makes the movie work. Charlize Theron is exceptional. She just gets better and better with every role she plays. Always so delightful to watch her. June Diane Raphael was also a great casting choice. Seth Rogen is certainly not my cup of coffee but he fits the role. It is more mature than the usual Seth Rogen role/movie - which I think is a good thing.

Smart, sophisticated, and accomplished, she's a powerhouse diplomat with a talent for...well, mostly everything. The two have nothing in common, except that she was his babysitter and childhood crush. When Fred unexpectedly reconnects with Charlotte, he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte impulsively hires Fred as her speechwriter, much to the dismay of her trusted advisors. A fish-out-of-water on Charlotte's elite team, Fred is unprepared for her glamorous lifestyle in the limelight. However, sparks fly as their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world romance and a series of unexpected and dangerous incidents.

Good writing
It's a romcom
Don't take this as anything more than a romcom . It's great it's funny and full of nice warm characters mostly !!
There's some slapstick stuff and it all works .
Forget the negatives on here and just watch it for the romantic fun that it is !!! Nothing more than that.
I WANT TO SMOKE A MOLLY WITH YOU
The 2 leads kill it together and honestly I didn't wanna watch it for some reason but I'm happy I did.
