Since leaving "The Daily Show" in 2015, Jon Stewart has become a political activist and occasional TV presence, but now he's back in the director's chair for his second feature film, Irresistible, a political satire about a small-town election starring Steve Carell. Nathan Weinbender takes a look at the new comedy, now available to rent on iTunes and Amazon, which he says is just a little too anemic and a little too dated to match the current climate.
Nathan Weinbender is the Film and Music Editor for the Inlander and one of the film critics on
Spokane Public Radio's "Movies 101," heard Friday evenings at 6:30 here on KPBX.
