A few weeks after seeing "Swing Vote", a movie to which I was literally dragged, I can remember very little about it. What I remember most is the trailer that I saw 100 times prior, which made it look like a cute movie, if entirely predictable.

The movie itself offered a great script of hilarious side characters amidst the most ridiculous of circumstances. The most hilarious being Nathan Lane, George Lopez, and Stanley Tucci (quite honestly the reason I went to see it in the first place...if it wasn't for that darned Kevin guy).
