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.

| Original Score: C | Jul 24, 2023

... Unfortunately, the film can't maintain its cynical and unbuttoned tone throughout and it only appears in flashes. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/10 | Apr 25, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 1, 2022

Irresistible is a clever and consistently comical commentary on the disconnect between today’s political parties and the people they swear to serve, strengthend by Jon Stewart's witty writing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

Stewart draws in an army of bigger-name pals in small parts, each with their own set of great lines. Debra Messing is hilariously obnoxious in an early scene.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 15, 2022

It starts off all fresh and funny, until it consumes itself in pursuit of showing up the star-spangled blues and reds of America.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2022

All of these performances though are in service of a film that feels badly out of date, even to the choir it's preaching to who will go out of their way to see it.

| Original Score: 5/10 | May 13, 2022

The biggest error of Irresistible is that its more concerned with making a point than telling a good story.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 18, 2022

A really endearing drama that still delivers plenty of laughs.

| Sep 3, 2021

Tremendously out of step with the current moment.

| Original Score: C- | Aug 12, 2021

"Irresistible" is the insightful, laugh-out-loud comedy we needed during this election year. Putting into perspective what is truly important in any leadership role.

| Original Score: A- | Jun 24, 2021

Though at times the narrative opposition is uneven, and the tension sometimes feels forced, the intent is solid.

| Jun 10, 2021

Irresistible is far too happy to coast on stereotypes of supposed Democratic and Republican party supporter traits, and for far too long.

| Mar 13, 2021

The problem is Irresistible can be a clunky political critique, one that struggles to maintain its momentum and to establish a consistent tone. It's fast, it's slow. It's sarcastic; it's earnest.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 28, 2021

...something of a time-waster, with an absurd 'money-solves-everything' motif...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 24, 2021

This zingy satire is so perfectly, beautifully Jon Stewart: big and brash, raging with fury at the state of American politics but also underlain with hope that it might be changed for the better.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 21, 2021

Irresistible is an entertaining film in fits and starts, but Stewart doesn't find his storytelling groove until the very end. By that point, many viewers may have already given up.

| Feb 5, 2021

Doesn't exactly blaze new ideological ground but the as a reminder of why the political system is twisted and broken, it's a timely tale.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 29, 2021

Missing Jon Stewart's commentary won't save this film for you.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 27, 2021

Irresistible represents a missed opportunity to show the world something new when it comes to dirty politics.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 29, 2020
