Brilliant movie - just brilliant! And now I add this sentence, because it needs the be at least 5 words to be sent - way to ruin a comment...

I love Jon Stewart and I'm definitely a Liberal, but this movie was just awful. It's Democrat America lost in the wilderness of the Trump years, looking for where they've gone wrong and unable to figure it out. Preachy, tone-deaf, and condescending.

This movie brilliantly highlights how corrupt the political and media establishments are. Watch it till the end... for a beautiful plot twist.

From Jon Stewart comes the fun political satire Irresistible. When political consultant Gary Zimmer sees a video of a charismatic man at a town hall meeting, Zimmer goes to his small Wisconsin town to recruit him to run for mayor, but the race soon becomes a media circus once it gets national attention. Starring Steve Carell, Rose Byrne, Chris Cooper, and Mackenzie Davis, the film has a solid cast that delivers good performances. And Stewart offers a lot of clever satire, and wisely keeps it about the absurdities of the political system rather than attacking any political party. Still, there are some bits of crude humor that don’t really work, and a couple of the characters are underwritten. Yet while it has a few weaknesses, Irresistible is an entertaining comedy with some interesting things to say.

Actually liked this more than I thought I would.
