"Irresistible" (not!) plays like a cross between a poor copy of such early 1990s thrillers as "Single White Female" and "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" and a made-for-TV family drama. It is directed flatly and without any sense of style (save for some ineffectual dream sequences), and for the story it has to tell, it really should have been about 30 minutes long. I mean, how many scenes do we need of Susan Sarandon losing something from her house, thick-headed husband Sam Neill telling her she's imagining it all, while we are certain that Emily Blunt is responsible? It's hard to believe that this dreary, endless time-waster attracted three actors of this caliber. At least the absolutely stunning Blunt went on to bigger and better things. *1/2 out of 4.
