Blu-Ray Review: ‘Swing Vote’ Wastes Great Cast on Predictable Script
Submitted by BrianTT on January 8, 2009 - 3:34pmCHICAGO – Joshua Michael Stern’s “Swing Vote” hit theaters at the peak of the Presidential campaign and it’s no coincidence that the Blu-Ray release lands in stores a week before President-Elect Obama takes office. With a great ensemble and old-fashioned sensibility, “Swing Vote” is a film that should work. Like a misguided campaign for office, it just doesn’t come together.
