The Oath Trailer 2: S**t’s About To Get Political

We all have sore spots with our family, but things rarely get as bloody and brutal as they do when politics is brought into the equation. Bring that subject matter into a Thanksgiving dinner, and you’re almost guaranteed an uncomfortable bloodbath (as opposed to a luxurious bloodbath). The upcoming film The Oath from Ike Barinholtz looks to take that premise to a whole new level.

In the film, the U.S. is passing a new law that every citizen will have to sign an oath, and the said oath will need to be signed by the day after Thanksgiving. Of course, this leads to some tense dinner conversation come Turkey Day, and the rest…well, you can just about imagine what comes next.

Below is the official synopsis for The Oath:

“A controversial White House policy turns family member against family member in THE OATH, a savagely funny dark comedy about surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When Chris (Ike Barinholtz), a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife Kai (Tiffany Haddish) learn that citizens are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President, their reaction is disbelief, followed by idealistic refusal. But as the Thanksgiving deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives, Chris’s own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government agents (John Cho and Billy Magnussen) sends an already tense holiday dinner gathering completely off the rails. As timely as it is outrageous, THE OATH is a gleefully wicked reinvention of the traditional holiday comedy for our divisive political times.”
