Even though Charlize Theron is seven years older than Seth Rogen, my brain can't accept that she would have been his babysitter.
The bones are good here. Some of the rom-com stuff works, and some of the raunchier comedy stuff works. Those two parts just don't blend as well as they could have.
Long Shot
Unlikely but not impossible.
