    Overall, an enjoyable movie. Don't go into the theater expecting high drama movie of the year quality. Sit back and laugh at the funny parts. Kevin Costner did a great job as the smelly,unshaven, and uneducated man who would cast that one vote to determine the fate of the USA and the girl who played his daughter carried her role off as well if not better. The story line made sense right up to the ending----something that cannot be said about every movie I have seen recently!

    Not a bad movie, but I thought it was a bit plodding at times. The end was by far the best part of the movie. My date liked it better than me.
