, but unlike the first, the deadly serious and surprisingly accomplished true-life Iranian prison drama “Rosewater” , this one comes straight out of Stewart’s satirical-political wheelhouse. Set shortly after the 2016 presidential election, it’s a close-to-the-bone tall tale — slightly exaggerated but still basically plausible — of what happens when America’s two ruling political parties descend upon the rural heartland of Deerlaken, Wisconsin, to take over a small-town election for mayor.
In outline, “Irresistible” is a fusion of “The Candidate,” “Wag the Dog,” “Green Acres,” a Preston Sturges comedy like “Hail the Conquering Hero,” and one of those shrewdly funny and didactic monologues from Stewart’s “Daily Show” days in which he holds forth on all the sicknesses that ail the American body politic.
