Great movie for those who like old-fashioned comedy
My son tells me that I don’t understand what young people think is funny. And he’s right. I’m not into cringe comedies like Borat or teen sex comedies like Superbad. So when I give Swing Vote 9 out of 10, I guess I have to limit my recommendation to those over 50. If you’re too young to remember Kevin Costner’s last great movie, I’m not so sure you’ll like this one. You see, no one gets humiliated and you don’t hear any jokes about sex or bodily functions. It’s an old-fashioned comedy that my wife, my cousin and I, all near 60, loved. If you are in that age range, ignore the critics and the IMDb rating. We laughed all the way through. The editing is fast paced so that you never get bored. Some critics have criticized Swing Vote for being lightweight, but it is really more dramedy than straight comedy. There are several serious themes including divorce and civic responsibility. This is Costner’s best performance in many years. And Madeline Carroll, who plays his daughter, is amazing. Watch out, Dakota Fanning and Abigail Breslin. This girl can play comedy and drama with equal aplomb. The scene where she cries in front of her class brought many to tears in our audience.

Underrated Film – Nice Performances
SWING VOTE pretty much got slammed by the critics when it came out and it ended up doing OK at the box office – not great, not horrible – just a flatline somewhat. So very low expectations when we checked this out from the library recently and was pleasantly surprised. Costner has had the typical roller-coaster ride of many male movie stars – after Bull Durham, No Way Out, Dances With Wolves – he was on fire and then the infamous Waterworld and The Postman sunk his career – he smartly went away and then tried to reinvent himself as a character actor – he did some nice work with Joanj Allen in an uneven film Upside Of Anger and I actually am in the minority because I loved his serial killer movie Mr. Brooks – and here he is perfect as Bud Johnson, a beer swilling loser who can barely get up in the morning and he constantly lets down his daughter – a civic minded, A student kid. Carroll gives a terrific performance as Molly – it is multi-layered and she and Costner have a wonderful rapport – Costner looks like crap throughout most of the film and its one of the things that makes the movie work – he looks his age, wrinkled, bags under his eyes, his hair always a mess, a bit of a gut – he seems comfortable int he skin of his small town guy. Yes, the plot takes some swallowing but overall – a nice political comedy with some nice supporting work from stalwarts like Nathan Lane, Kelsey Grammar, George Lopez and Stanley Tucci = this is a smart, funny comedy worth seeking out.
