Irresistible (2020 Jon Stewart & scr)

Yes, the TV presenter ('The Daily Show'). Biting satire of the way the electoral process works in the hands of moneyed PR manipulators, represented here by Steve Carrell on the Democrats side and Rose Bryne for the Republicans. Small-town rural America (Wisconsin) is their battle ground, Chris Cooper the contestant for Mayor. Carrell falls for his daughter Mackenzie Davis (Tully), who's the smartest person in town, which shows in the twist ending (actually there are a few alternate endings).

Yes - we thought it was good. Though rather over-edited in places.
