What to Know

Critics Consensus

A soft political satire that proves frustratingly less than the sum of its talented parts, Irresistible is anything but.

Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) It's plain all along that Stewart has little interest in his characters and their troubles except as a means for him to score didactic points, primarily about the evils of unrestricted campaign financing. Rated: 2/5 Oct 16, 2020 Full Review Angie Han FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I don't think it works well as a drama or a comedy. It's not especially funny... There's a good message here, but it's buried under a lot of stuff that doesn't work. Jul 9, 2020 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast In desperate need of ruthless incisiveness, it goes soft at every turn. Jul 8, 2020 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Irresistible owns a bold, intelligent idea that despite being unrealistically absurd, it carries an impactful message that I’d love to have seen explored on a deeper level, and not just in the last fifteen minutes. Rated: C Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Juan Pablo Russo EscribiendoCine ... Unfortunately, the film can't maintain its cynical and unbuttoned tone throughout and it only appears in flashes. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/10 Apr 25, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut The entire purpose of Jon Stewart’s Irresistible seems to be an exercise on how both sides can p*ss into the wind without getting their pants wet.

Brett C I've got Herpes From my Dog Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Sheago C An honest assessment of political corruption, elitism, the corporate media & the failings of the "progressive" movement. Done with a lot of wit & irony. Very Jon Stewart. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Isaac R I'd say it's worth a watch, and is funny in a lot of places, but not only does it make the republican that is running the campaign look like a lunatic, it also makes rural Americans look like idiots for most of the movie. The acting is good, Steve Carell will always do a good job. The cinematography/videography great quality and I like the look of it. Over all I liked the movies twist ending, I'd probably watch the movie again. It's a solid 3 and a half stars. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/23 Full Review Daniel H I only saw twenty minutes. Seemed like state media. Turned me off. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Jennifer B The fact that most people missed the Brilliance in this Movie kind of Saddens me. This Movie Perfectly encapsulates the US election process, "create" the candidate! The public is so accustomed to being marketed to, they can't distinguish between fact and fiction. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/13/23 Full Review Tiago D Nada além do que já não vimos em filmes políticos. Sempre a esquerda boazinha, sempre o candidato impossível e etc... S.C segura muito bem o filme como sempre, tirando seu talento, é apenas um filme qualquer. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
