His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."Kevin Costner’s “Swing Vote” mostly a hit
A rocky start aside, this blend of timely political satire and father/daughter heart warmer offers enough truth about media manipulation and voter pandering to win over an undemanding audience. And good luck trying to resist little Madeline Carroll.
Grade: B
Rated PG-13 for plentiful spicy language.
