Long Shot release date, cast, plot, and more – All you need to know plus NEW trailer

Long Shot flips the tables on a common romantic comedy trope. Instead of the rich and powerful man and a rough-around-the-edges woman (à la Pretty Woman), Long Shot swaps those gender roles around. The new trailer was released today and is far more raunchy than its predecessor.
