Stars Steve Carrell, Chris Cooper & Rose Byrne.

A campaign consultant (Carrell) helps a retired Colonel (cooper) run for mayor in the small town of Deerlaken, WI. It is a funny Fish out of Water movie and political satire.

I highly recommend it and of course as Stewart wrote it there is a message about our political system and news coverage.
