Storyline
Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen) is a gifted and
free-spirited journalist with an affinity for trouble. Charlotte Field
(Charlize Theron) is one of the most influential women in the world.
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
glamourous 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.

Trivia
A picture of Jennifer Lawrence is shown as a comparison to Charlotte. Charlize Theron and Lawrence were both in The Burning Plain (2008) where they played older and younger versions of the same character. See more »Goofs
After Fred awakens Charlotte from her "micro-nap", they discuss the jokes he has written for her speech. During the conversation, Fred puts his laptop on Charlotte's desk. As the scene ends, Fred leaves the room without the laptop in his hands (as he was directed to make changes to the speech, he would need his laptop for that work). See more »Soundtracks

Longer review: It's not exactly believable - certain things are said and done that would not yield the same results in the real political world - however, it's warm, funny, and the romance part was just really nice. Some people might gag at the sound of that, but you can't please everyone. It reminded me of one of my favourite films of all time; The American President. Not quite the same quality but a similar feel, although with more swearing and crude humour (which I found very funny). There's also a nice cameo/small role by a very well-known actor but the makeup/prosthetics (possibly?) are very good and it took me a few seconds to realise who it was!
