Great Fun

Bud Johnson (Kevin Costner), an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving 12-year-old daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll). She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events that culminate in the election coming down to one vote... her dad's. This movie was great fun and i really enjoyed it. but what ate me up inside was the fact we don't get to find out who won the presidential election. that was the down side of this movie but it was still funny. Swing Vote 7/10
