John Stewart is America’s leading political satirists, so in his new “Irresistible”, it comes as a shock that it feels pointedly depressing rather than fun.

“The King of Staten Island” is one of those movies which has a charm because of its willingness to bare the soul of its lead actor and co-writer.
