Swing Vote



Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad movie. It just sucks. Not much more can be said.

(Well, one thing. As we've just seen in the Minnesota Senate recount, it's really common for ballots to be miscounted on the first run through. And this is the reason automatic recounts come into effect when the difference in vote tallies are extremely tiny. Yet in Swing Vote, where the Republican incumbent, played well-ish by Kelsey Grammer, garners 266 electoral votes to the 265 for the Democratic challenger, who is played by a ludicrous Dennis Hopper, leaving only New Mexico's 5 electoral votes up to Kevin Costner's decision, as the state emerged in a dead-even tie at the end of the night, recounts would be too much of an inconvenience.)

(Also, George Lopez proves that there is absolutely no venue in which he is funny.)
