Irresistible Reviews
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chris Hewitt
For nearly its entire length, the movie comes off as condescending, particularly about small towns.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Irresistible," which can't decide if it's a satire, a farce or an old-fashioned come-from-behind underdog story, just isn't it. Resist.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
As things close, we realize we never once really learned, well, what people believe and want in this town - besides simply loving it.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"Irresistible" is a shell game that wants to entertain us until it's time to make us think, but it doesn't say anything we don't already know...
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
The whole point of the film, if I'm following it correctly, is that money in politics is bad and that our Red State/Blue State narrative is driven by the press and political strategists and serves to divide us further. Whoa... mind blown.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Irresistible is exactly what it accuses everyone else of being - haplessly, groundlessly condescending.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Irresistible is a giant mess that rarely entertains, Stewart's whimsical pontifications sadly falling on deaf ears.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Stewart makes the same mistake his characters do; he condescends to his audience.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Angie Han
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.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
In desperate need of ruthless incisiveness, it goes soft at every turn.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Jon Stewart can't actually be bothered to show us any diversity throughout Irresistible, and it's a failing of the film that shows his own ideological narrowness.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
It's nothing The Daily Show, under Stewart's leadership, didn't already cover. Which is a little alarming in 2020.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
The movie can't help tuning out the voices of the very people whose cause it seeks to espouse.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Stewart is nobody's bumpkin when it comes to dumb stereotypes. Still, the scheme of his script requires them, and they aren't all that amusing, even in retrospect.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
It's perfectly entertaining as you're watching, but when it's over, you might not feel any smarter-or humbler-than you did going in.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
Boasts not a single satisfying joke, all the while priding itself on being ripped from 4-year-old headlines.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Stewart's instincts are good: In today's political climate, light comedy is probably more attractive than bitter satire. Still, imagine what Stewart could have done with this material if he'd really fired up his lasers.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Irresistible seeks to sway hearts and open minds, and perhaps inevitably winds up preaching -- and yes, that's the operative term -- to the choir. As road tests go, Stewart's movie passes inspection, but just barely
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
It's not punk enough to make us gasp. And it's not skilled enough to massage its cliches to life.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Attacking both political affiliations with equal disgust, "Irresistible" seems disappointingly fatigued, its glossy veneer concealing a hollow core.
