I miss Jon Stewart's snark on The Daily Show. Today we can see "Irresistible" online. Stewart wrote and directed this political satire film, which stars his friend and former "Daily Show" contributor Steve Carell.

After 16 years as host of "The Daily Show," Stewart stepped down in 2015 and was unable to take aim at Donald Trump's presidency. However, wearing his filmmaking hat for the second time since 2014's "Rosewater," he feels he has something to add to the national political conversation, and in "Irresistible," Stewart takes aim at the cruel and cynical world of campaigning and elections.

Carell stars as Gary Zimmer, a Democratic political strategist who sees a viral video of a former Marine colonel (Chris Cooper) standing up for illegal immigrants. Gary decides to run Jack Hastings for mayor of a small conservative Wisconsin town as a first step in reclaiming the heartland for the party. [But Republican operative Faith Brewster (Rose Byrne) stands in his way. Soon this small local race becomes a battle for the soul of America.

No, "Irresistible" is only available as a premium video-on-demand (VOD) rental. This essentially replaces the theatrical release.

However, even after the "theatrical" release, it will not join Netflix's library because it is a Focus Features film. Since the studio is owned by Comcast, its films will likely move to Peacock's streaming service. So "Irresistible" will probably be streamed later this year.

The cast of Irresistible is led by Steve Carell, who starred with Stewart in The Daily Show. He will play Democratic political strategist Gary Zimmer.

Others in the cast include:

Jon Stewart's films have received mostly negative reviews. Many have pointed out that it is not in keeping with the current climate, including the Coronavirus pandemic and protests against Black Lives Matter. The following is a summary of the Irresistible review.

Vulture "Irresistible is not only shockingly ineffectual in its insights into national divisions, it is laughable as a further betrayal."

NPR: "As a satire, it is utterly toothless. This is because there is nothing in the film that challenges anyone's way of thinking. Who would consider this provocative?"

Rolling Stone: "This former late-night broadcaster has cleverly avoided taking sides.

AV Club: "If the wisdom imparted is this conventional, you'd better find a way to package it in a dramatically or comedically satisfying way. Stewart did not. "

New York Post: "Stewart is 100 percent the man who ruined this election comedy, which prides itself on having ripped from the headlines four years ago, but without a single satisfying joke."
