Review - Swing Vote
SWING VOTE [PG-13]
review by Kilian Melloy
Imagine a feature film version of “The Simpsons.” Oops, that’s already been done… well, imagine it anyway, only with the title Swing Vote, and featuring live actors.
Now image culling out the whole Simpson clan except for Homer and Lisa.
Now cast Kevin Costner as Homer and Madeline Carroll as Lisa, relocate them to a trailer park in Texico, New Mexico, and give them new names… say, Bud and Molly.
The “Simpsons” comparison is a kind way of saying that we have seen this movie before, and sometimes not even at the Cineplex. That, and Swing Vote ain’t Kevin Costner’s Bulworth, which is a masterpiece in comparison; nor is it Costner’s Bob Roberts, which is a cult classic.
