Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Long Shot (out May 2) is the story of a woman (Charlie Theron) in line to be the next U.S. President who hires a childhood acquaintance (Seth Rogen) to help give her speeches a little colour and humour. 1990s film such as Bulworth and The American President covered this material in a more convincing manner. There are a few laughs here but both the politics and the romance don't feel authentic. Grade: B-.
