The film, written and directed by the former Daily Show host, stars Steve Carell as the Democrats’ top strategist, who believes the key to winning back America’s heartland lies with a retired Marine colonel, played by Chris Cooper. However, the strategy backfires when Carell’s Republican counterpart, played by Rose Byrne, enters the picture.  

Topher Grace, Natasha Lyonne, Mackenzie Davis, CJ Wilson, and Will Sasso also star.
