E' la storia di Fred Flarsky (Seth Rogen), un giornalista disoccupato che nel pieno di una crisi professionale e soprattutto depressiva decide di riconquistare una sua vecchia fiamma. Peccato che la ragazza (Charlize Theron) in questione, un tempo baby-sitter del giornalista stesso, ora sia diventata una delle donne più ricche, potenti e influenti del mondo. Sicuro che la riuscita della conquista possa tirarlo fuori dal clima di disgrazia che lo ha colpito, Flarsky cercherà in ogni modo di catturare le attenzioni di questa donna irraggiungibile.

As she prepares to make a surprise run for the Oval Office, Charlotte hires Fred to punch up her campaign speeches and their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world affair. But Fred's carefree indiscretions, past and present, could bring down her campaign before it even begins. The film redefines "international relations" with a profane, funny and unexpected love
