Kevin Costner vehicle whereby by a fluke of circumstance he is the single remaining vote which will decide the next president of the US. The problem is that he's an uncultured moron and ignorant of all things political, whereas his daughter is bright and culturally aware. Big parody of the political process as both parties go out of their way to win him over, completely reversing their platforms and becoming each other in an over the top effort to win. Funny in spots, although suspension of disbelief is key as the story unfolds. A little too pat, but you're not expected to take this seriously anyway, sooo...
You can't help but hate Costner for the imbecile he is in this movie, which is a bit of a change from his usual role where he's the likeable rogue.I'd give it a C. |
