Would you believe that Hollywood could take one really stupid idea, fifteen minutes of plot time, add in a good young actress and after a moderately slow start, jump into thirty minutes of absolutely hilarious comedy parodying almost all the political sacred cows of the day? Just when you think you've settled into a comedy they transition to drama with excellent human and family interest issues that tug at your heart strings and bring a tear to the eye.
Then boom - they have you softened up and the movie finishes very strong on principle, drama and a high note.
Swing Vote - whether you wait for DVD or swing by your locally cold theater and partake of outrageously priced popcorn with slabs of butter and a Diet Coke - don't miss it.
This is Kevin Costner's best work by far since Dancing With Wolves. He will get some buzz as a nominee for actor and producer. If the young woman who plays his daughter (Madeline Carroll) doesn't get a nomination I'm going to boycott the Awards Program. Wait - I already boycott the program. Don't you just hate a veiled threat? Larry
