What’s the movie about?
The comedy is about the unemployed journalist Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen), who after a very long time sees his first big love again. Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron) was his babysitter when he was a child. Now she works as the Secretary of State of the United States of America and would like to be nominated for the presidential election. Although she has nothing to do with Fred, she hires him as her speechwriter. From now on, Fred must stand up to the best of the best in the guild. But Fred actually wants something completely different: How does he manage as a nerd to impress such an intelligent, educated and experienced woman? Is it even a good idea to want to have a relationship with Charlotte?
I am losing my mind over the fact that I cannot find the song played at the beginning of the ballroom scene right after moon river was played. That was some of the most beautiful sounds of music Iโve ever heard, so full of love, I need to know the name of it.
