I can understand fully why this Kevin Costner movie fell so far under the radar, if the man has any sense he put it there!
It's not that it's a bad film, it's just a mediocre one with one of the most offensively ridiculous concepts of all time.
So we have Bud, a redneck and all round failure at life (Especially to his daughter). His daughter registers him to vote but then due to a fault with the voting booth he becomes the "Swing" voter. Namely this hick has the single handed decision who becomes the President of the United States.
Yep, THAT dumb.
Despite a great cast including Costner, Patton, Tucci, Hopper & Grammer this is a foolish movie.
Yes it is highly accurate in it's presentation of politics but lacks in the comedy and simply isn't as dramatic as it aims to be.
One for hardcore Costner fans only.
The Good:
Bill Maher
Solid cast
The Bad:
Laughable representation of the Republican party
Concept is ridiculous
Too much FOX "News"
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
The writers were high on weed when writing the script and somewhere along the way someone was high on crack for giving it the green light!
