This movie has a 0% Approval Rating Based on 0 Reviews Read Reviews
Release Date: Friday, August 1st 2008,
Swing Vote follows the story of Bud Johnson (Costner), an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving twelve year-old daughter Molly (Carroll).
She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote…her dad’s. The film also stars Paula Patton, Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez, Willie Nelson, Judge Reinhold, Mare Winningham, and Richard Petty.
