Synopsis

Jack Hastings (Chris Cooper), a retired US Army colonel, lives in a small town in Wisconsin. A former military man attends a meeting of townspeople and delivers a speech in defense of illegal migrants. The video of his performance goes viral on the net.

The Republican Party also does not sleep and sends its representative to Wisconsin – Faith Brewster, with whom Zimmer knows too well …
Irresistible is a film about opposites. Republicans versus Democrats, man versus woman, village versus city – all this sets the tone for a very good comedy, which may seem entertaining even to a person who is very far from politics.
