Irresistible

This movie is exceptionally well paced, written, and acted. It's a charming, funny, and entertaining story while bringing in scary facts about our election system and placing the blame squarely on both party's shoulders. If you're concerned about the movie having a left lean b/c of John Stewart you shouldn't be too worried. He is more concerned w/ pointing out the ridiculousness of the entire election system and how both parties capitalize off of it then "pushing a liberal agenda". Very entertaining and educational!

This film came out just when it needed to. An unbiased look at American politics and how BOTH parties take advantage of the very people they're supposed to help.

Top notch actors playing characters you will love and then those you love to hate. Easily could have been another run of the mill take on a story we'll all seen before, but thanks to Jon Stewart we got something refreshing that also manages to subvert your expectations.

Definitely worth a watch. 7/10

This is a very interesting film about the behind the scenes of American politics. It is engaging, funny and witty all at the same time. I enjoyed it.

At first I was thinking what kind of movie it's going to be, because Steve Carell is amazing actor in both comedy and serious movies(I hate watching trailers, I let film to surprise me by itself). After all, it was a serious movie with some sarcasm and comedy scenes which I liked. Main plot was interesting, I loved that they didn't speak a lot about Donald Trump or others politicians(as 90% films do). It surprised me in a good, ending was really unpredictable,film name had deep meaning, it's just good movie for a night. I would really recommend to watch it. Top 10 movies of 2020 for me so far.

This is the brainchild of Jon Stewart who wrote and directed. A small conservative community in Wisconsin is holding an election and the Washington based political consultants decide that they will enlist the local ex-Marine and farmer as the opponent of the incumbent, and run as a Democrat.

There is a line in the movie, "This system, the way we elect people, it's terrifying. And exhausting. And I think it's driving us all insane." And that is pretty well how I feel, especially every 4 years when presidential elections come around. And this movie makes fun of that.

Overall a very good watch, my wife and I enjoyed it at home on DVD from our public library. There is a significant "twist" near the end which makes it all even more absurd.
