November, 2004, New Mexico. Bud is a slacker with one good thing in his life, his engaging fifth-grade daughter Molly. On election day, Bud is supposed to meet her at the polling place. When he doesn't show, she sneaks a ballot and is about to vote when the power goes off. It turns out that New Mexico's electoral votes will decide the contest, and there it's tied with one vote needing recasting - Bud's. The world's media and both presidential candidates, including the current President, descend on Bud in anticipation of his re-vote in two weeks. Can the clueless Bud, even with the help of Molly and a local TV reporter, handle this responsibility?
Leave your thoughts about Swing Vote.
| Hollywood.comPete HammondIf you want to cast your vote for smart, witty and irreverent filmmaking, this is the movie you've been waiting for. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongSwing Vote is an amiable lug of a movie, part public service announcement, part political satire and part good-old-boy comedy with a spritz of sentiment hanging over the entire enterprise. |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekStern and his lead actor do manage to pull it all together at the end. |
| Paste MagazineRobert DavisAlthough it preaches political engagement, it hopes very much to have an audience full of Buds who won't mind when it ambles lazily into the closing credits having taken a stand for nothing whatsoever. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertSwing Vote captures the spirit of an election year when many once-apathetic Americans are keenly interested in the outcome. We have met the enemy and he is us. But so is the hero. |
| WJFK-FM (CBS Radio)Kevin McCarthySwing Vote, to sound as cliche as possible, is a heartwarming film that is smart and laugh-out loud funny. Believe it or not, the flick sends an important message about politics. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesThe undertones of Frank Capra come bubbling to the surface in a smarmy finale complete with French horn and bags of mail from the common folk. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerDusted off and brought up to date, it's still the same old Capracorn – minus the populist pizzazz he might have provided. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA deathly uneven, woefully unfunny attempt at a political comedy/statement from an emphatically nondescript filmmaker and an overexcited Kevin Costner is not the proper vessel for change. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe mix of comedy and drama is winning; Costner couldn't be better, and the little girl is a find. |
