Opposites Attract (working title Running Mates) is a 1990 American made-for-television romantic comedy film starring Barbara Eden and John Forsythe.
A former cowboy movie star Rex Roper (John Forsythe) decides to run for Mayor of Crescent Bay, California.
He hopes that if he wins the election, he will be able to install his hot tub, a plan that Town Supervisor Charlene McKeon (Barbara Eden) had previously nixed due to the area's water shortage.
Charlene is also running for Mayor, pitting her solid reputation, vigilant community membership and homespun values against Rex's popularity, megabucks and media savvy.
Before the election, Rex and Charlene have created their own political scandal when the two opponents find themselves falling in love.
