Trailer for Jon Stewart’s Irresistible starring Steve Carell and Chris Cooper

January 25, 2020 by Amie Cranswick

Focus Features has released a trailer for writer-director Jon Stewart’s upcoming comedy drama Irresistible which stars Steve Carell as a Democrat strategist who helps a retired veteran (Chris Cooper) in a small conservative town. Joining Carell and Cooper in the cast are Rose Byrne, Topher Grace, Natasha Lyonne, Mackenzie Davis, CJ Wilson and Will Sasso; watch it here…

Irresistible is a comedy about what happens when a small Wisconsin town becomes the main attraction of our political circus. After the Democrat’s top strategist Gary (Steve Carell) sees a video of a retired Marine Colonel (Chris Cooper) standing up for the rights of his town’s undocumented workers, Gary believes he has found the key to winning back the Heartland. However, when the Republicans counter him by sending in his brilliant nemesis Faith (Rose Byrne), what started out as a local race quickly becomes an out-of-control and hilarious fight for the soul of America.

Irresistible is set for release on May 29th.
