With the film Swing Vote arriving in theaters this Friday, a small viral campaign has hit The Tube -- featuring a number of smear ads from both men running for president in the flick. See, Swing Vote stars Kevin Costner as a dude who, thanks to his pesky 12-year-old kid, winds up as having the final say in a presidential election between Donald Greenleaf (Dennis Hopper) and President ...

... Vote: Kevin Costner stars as the one guy whose vote will decide the US Presidential Election in this well-timed comedy. The all-star cast includes Nathan Lane (who just played a president on Broadway in November), Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Hopper.

Weekend Movie Forecast: Today’s Costner or Yesterday’s Gould? — Gothamist
Swing Vote , anyone? You know, starring Kevin Costner as an “apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by, until his daughter sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote: her dad’s! ” HAHAHA! Take it away, Boston Globe : “ Swing Vote is a satire that's afraid to satirize. It's predicated on so many ...
Movie Drinking Games: Swing Vote [Drinking Games] — Film School Rejects
It’s an election year, and there’s bound to be some election movies coming down the pike. But do we really need to be remembered of the snafu of Election 2000? Apparently, Kevin Costner thinks so. His new movie Swing Vote is about a beer-drinking, trailer-park-living, fly-fishing redneck whose last-minute ballot becomes the deciding vote in a presidential election.
Wait a minute… ...
Swing Vote (review) — FlickFilosopher.com
You almost want to hug 'Swing Vote,' too, it’s so cute in how it thinks that it’s not too late for all that, that one-man-one-vote really is something akin to, well, maybe nine innings of baseball on a glorious summer’s day.
Capone Votes 'Nay' to Kevin Costner's SWING VOTE!! — Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. I'm about 75 percent sure there's a message buried in this latest Kevin Costner vehicle, SWING VOTE, and I could even venture a couple of guesses as to what that message is. But I'll be damned if director Joshua Michael Stern (who also co-wrote with Jason Richman) makes it easy to figure out what that message is. This could be the first-ever, two-hour ...
If Kevin Costner Backs It, But The Movie Is 'Swing Vote,' Will They Come? [Field Of Pipe Dreams] — Gawker: defamer
Perhaps it's due to all those episodes of Behind the Music we watched back in the day, but we've always assumed that no matter how big a fortune a megastar may amass, he or she will eventually waste it all on hookers or blow. Not so, apparently, for Kevin Costner: though far removed from his Waterworld earning power, he's socked enough in the bank to still be worth over $20 million. ...

DNfromMN - Move Review - Swing Vote — Crazy Days and Nights
SWING VOTE Release Date: 8/1/08 The Story: In the closest election in history, Bud Johnson’s (Kevin Costner) vote didn’t count. He alone will determine the results of the election. The problem is that he barely even knows who’s running (Kelsey Grammar and Dennis Hopper). Kevin Costner may be an ass in real life, but he’s one of those engaging movie stars that I find charming. If you can’t ...

Discuss: Do Real Media Celebrities Make Sense in Fiction? — Cinematical
The basic scenario behind Swing Vote makes for an easy pitch: An average American ( Kevin Costner ) winds up in the position of casting the deciding vote in a presidential election. Both candidates (played by Kelsey Grammer and Dennis Hopper ) fly into town and try to woo him. It's a simple premise clearly aimed at exploring the various quirks of the political process. However, although it ...

Kevin Costner Reduced to Stealing Mediocrity From the Dead [Close Vote] — Gawker: defamer
A disturbing revelation has come to light today about Swing Vote , Kevin Costner's election-year opus about the alcoholic schlub on whose shoulders the entirety of presidential politics rests via some fluke of electoral nature. It's about as disappointing as its midsummer dumping implies, writes NY Post critic Lou Lumenick, but that hardly seems as unexpected as his observation that the whole ...
