In Simply Irresistible, Macht plays Stan, a charming though rather cynical chef who falls into a mysterious love affair with a woman whose food seems to carry some magic of its own. Romance and fantasy mingle together and, through this story, warmth and subtle humor pour from Stan in Macht's performance. His performance gives dimensions to a very one-dimensional role, and there is a potent emotional core to all the whimsical storytelling in what he shares on screen with Sarah Michelle Gellar.
