Even for a movie Swing Vote has a absurd premise. The idea that our democratic voting system can be founded on one man voting is incredibly ludicrous even for the plot line of a movie. Thankfully the movie decides to try and be more then just Kevin Costner (ugh) farting around talking with politicians. The movie instead focuses on his relationship with his daughter. It tries to show the common man's focus on politics. Despite this idea though the movie still doesn't work. The family moments come across as being too cheesy and the movie isn't able to get across it's bizarre premise. Although the movie was better then I expected it to be (which isn't saying much) it's not worth watching. It's a mediocre Costner movie but if you are a fan of his then you've seen worse by him (like The Postman)
