Hailed as “brilliantly hilarious” (Sean O’Connell, CinemaBlend), Jon Stewart’s latest film, IRRESISTIBLE, follows what happens when a small town becomes the main attraction for two rival political pundits. Top Democratic consultant Gary Zimmer (Carell) sees an opportunity to win back voters in America’s heartland when a video of a passionate farmer and retired Marine colonel (Chris Cooper; Breach, August: Osage County) goes viral. After a long, hard day’s work as a farmhand, Gary persuades the farmer to run for mayor. However, when the Republican National Committee counters him by sending in his brilliant nemesis, Faith Brewster (Byrne), Gary is more than primed to up his game, turning this local race into a hilarious game of tug of war.
Alongside Carell, Byrne and Cooper is a top-notch cast including Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Tully), Topher Grace (“That 70’s Show,” BlacKKKlansman) and Natasha Lyonne (“Orange is the New Black,” “Russian Doll”) that bring even more laughs throughout the wickedly funny and charming film. From Academy Award®-winning production company Plan B Entertainment and the filmmakers behind The Big Short, 12 Years a Slave and Vice, IRRESISTIBLE is an entertaining and insightful must-own film with a profound message for everyone.
