Last week, I watched Kevin Costner’s new movie that you probably haven’t heard of called Swing Vote.  It was a good little movie that I watched in a Casino using a comp’ed movie ticket.

Unless you are a Costner devotee or just love political movies, I probably wouldn’t recommend catching this at the Box Office, but I definitely would recommend watching it once it comes out on DVD, Netflix or Cable.

This is probably going to end up being one of those movies that gets played over and over again and that constantly sucks you into watching it.  Its funny, fairly well scripted and acted and everything just kind of works in the movie.  When I watched the movie, it reminded me a bit of movies like Dave, Moon Over Parador and Ground Hogs Day.  It may not be as good as those movies individually, but there is something about movies like that in which you can watch them over and over again without growing out of them, kind of like they were designed for the purpose, like one of those adjustable Stokke Tripp Trapp chairs designed to fit a person from the cradle to the grave.

I don’t know that Swing vote will fit for people from the cradle to the grave, but it might last from about 5th grade on at least.
