After a political protest gone wrong, Dorothy (Joey Ally), a fiery liberal speechwriter on a U.S. Senate campaign, finds herself unemployed and living back in her conservative Texas hometown with her estranged grandfather (Bruce Dern). Dorothy soon learns that her childhood nemesis, Brent (Ian Harding), is running for office as the sole Republican candidate. Determined to thwart him at any cost, Dorothy creates an elaborate payback scheme with the help of an old friend turned campaign manager, Greta (Meredith Hagner): she'll go undercover to run as his conservative opponent, win the nomination, and ultimately drop out–a loophole that would force a win for the Democratic candidate. Immersed in the campaign, Dorothy gets closer to victory, only to discover that good vs. evil isn't necessarily as simple as left vs. right.

I just was looking for a comedy to watch while I fold laundry but ended up getting sucked into this one. Very cute!! I appreciated the nuanced take on our divided country.

Thought it was very creative & had strong performances. For once, a funny movie that is also relevant to what’s going on. I found this because I loved Meredith Hagner in Search Party and I am happy I did!
