关于影片 About the Film 

2008年出品的喜剧/剧情片《摇摆选票》讲述了一场美国总统大选的结果由一张关键投票决定的故事。凯文·科斯特纳（Kevin Costner）扮演的Bud Johnson是一个普通的蓝领工人，日子过得浑浑噩噩，没少得到他早熟的女儿Molly的帮忙。在一系列的阴差阳错之下，他手中的选票将决定美国大选的结果，他也因此成为了全世界媒体、两党总统候选人和现任总统关注的焦点。在Molly和一个当地电视记者的帮助下，完全状况外的Bud能否承担这个重任呢？ 

Swing Vote is a 2008 American comedy-drama film about an entire U.S. presidential election determined by the vote of one man. Kevin Costner stars as Bud Johnson, an Average Joe, who is coasting through life with the help of Molly, his wise-beyond-her-years daughter. In a remarkable turn of events, the result of the presidential election comes down to his vote. The world's media and both presidential candidates, including the current President, descend on Bud in anticipation of his re-vote in two weeks. Can the clueless Bud, even with the help of Molly and a local TV reporter, handle this responsibility?
