Swing Vote (2008)

[rdodolak]

Kevin Costner (Open Range) stars in Swing Vote, a clever and feel-good comedy. Bud Johnson (Costner) is an ordinary dad drifting through life, caring about nothing except his overachieving daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll, Flipped). Trying to encourage him to get involved, Molly accidentally sets off a chain of events on Election Day that ends with the presidential race coming down to one vote—Bud’s. Comedic chaos ensues as Kelsey Grammer (TV’s Frasier and Cheers), Dennis Hopper (Speed), Paula Patton (2 Guns), Nathan Lane (The Birdcage), Stanley Tucci (Big Trouble), Judge Reinhold (Beverly Hills Cop), Willie Nelson (Thief), Mare Winningham (Miracle Mile) and George Lopez (Rio) give all-star support in a witty and uplifting film that’s charming, funny, smart, touching and profound. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern (Jobs).

Special Features:

• NEW Audio Commentary by Director Joshua Michael Stern
• Inside the Campaign: The Politics of Production
• Deleted & Extended Scenes (with optional Director's Commentary)

So that NEW Audio Commentary by Director Joshua Michael Stern that KL had advertised doesn't seem to be on this new Blu-ray. This release seems to only include the original director and writer commentary. I'm a little disappointed with this, especially since KL is still advertising a new commentary for this film on their website.

I don't have the previous Disney or Mill Creek releases to compare it to, but the video quality on this KL Blu-ray was excellent. The audio quality was good too, however I found I had to turn up the volume more on my receiver to hear it properly.

Apologies for reviving this thread and whatever, so I decided to watch this movie today because of Kevin Costner, but after an hour I had to call quits 'cause all they did was follow him around wherever he went.

Yes, I realize this is a political movie, but it's also meant to be fun and entertaining to watch... It wasn't. Somehow this has a duration of 2hrs wtf.

I enjoyed the movie.

I used to see the bluray everywhere for a dollar.
