Swing Vote ***

So I finally saw 'Swing Vote'.

Kevin Costner's not really at the top of my list. There were some moments in 'Dances With Wolves', but he's just not one of my favorites.

However, he did a good job as a slacker dad with the fate of the world in his hands. He didn't even intend to vote, but it turns out that the outcome of the US presidential election is entirely up to him casting his ballot. That's the story! That's pretty much it...

There are several other good performances in the movie, namely the kid who plays his daughter. But the point of the movie (and it came out in theaters in the fall, before elections) is to impress the importance of voting on all of us. So, be sure to put this one in front of the people who think that their vote isn't important.

All in all, it's just pretty good. Ok for the kids.
If you're a voter, you probably could skip it. But, if you know someone who thinks their vote doesn't count, then just non-chalantly watch it with them!
