Description

Kevin Costner stars in Swing Vote, a clever, feel-good "landslide comedy winner. So funny and inspiring you'll stand up and cheer!" (Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com) Bud Johnson's an ordinary dad drifting through life, caring about nothing except his overachieving daughter Molly. Trying to encourage him to get involved, Molly accidentally sets off a chain of events on Election Day that ends with the presidential race coming down to one vote, Bud's. Comedic chaos ensues as Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Stanley Tucci and George Lopez give all-star support in a witty and uplifting film that's "charming, funny, smart, touching and profound!" (Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood).

    Got this due to Kevin Costner and Paula Patton. The Cast is good but the reality is the script didn’t give them much to work with. They also went a little too far in making Kevin’s character too much of a slacker and a red neck. There were several instances where I was hoping his daughter got taken away from him due to his total lack of concern about apparently everything. Madeline Carroll did an outstanding job as Kevin’s intelligent and way too mature daughter.

    This was a really good movie. it has a good plot, but it annoys me that you don't even get to figure out who wins! i was looking forward to finding out who wins, and they don't even tell you.
  • GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

    2 be honest i found this movie at first to be comedy not worth watching again. However I did watch it again and got more out of it the second time. Although the plot would never happen the message that the mpvie portrays i find moving as well as inspired. Thumbs up for this film.

    The political plot is contrived, though this is sensibly explained at the very beginning of the film, meaning we're simply asked to go with it from the start. There are several genuinely humorous moments involving the two candidates and their campaign managers (Lane and Tucci). I have never been a fan of fictitious presidencies, and this film does not change that for me. The real story of the film, though, is the evolving relationship between Bud and Molly, and this is where Swing Vote succeeds. Madeline Carroll not only makes this aspect of the story, she really makes the whole film, easily moving from being a precocious small-town girl with aspirations of life away from Texico to a tormented girl struggling to convince herself that her dad really will one day be the responsible parent she needs him to be. As a political allegory, Swing Vote is contrived and cliched; as a father/daughter story, it is sincerely moving at times.

    This is a really great movie but the ending is just a rip off. The point is he has too choose betweent two canidates, and they both try to bond with him. He's the last one in the US to choose the president.In the end where he was about to vote for the president, THE MOVIE ENDS! It doesnt show who he chooses to elect!!! I mean how STUPID. Atleast make another movie or something!!!!!!!!!!
