Swing Vote DVD Giveaway

January 12, 2009 by GreatDad Writers 142 Comments

Burbank, Calif., October 17, 2008—An ordinary Joe accidentally gets the power to choose the next president of the United States in Swing Vote, a smart and timely comedy coming to DVD and Blu-ray Hi-Def on January 13, 2009 from Touchstone Home Entertainment.

An all-star cast and a full slate of bonus features, including exclusive glimpses behind the scenes, filmmaker commentary and deleted scenes, light up an election year comedy about the power of one.
 
Bud Johnson is content to coast through life in a dead end job, until his precocious twelve-year old, Molly, sets off a chain of events that results in a presidential election coming down to a single vote: Bud’s. Political operatives swarm his tiny hometown in New Mexico in an all-out battle for his ballot and there are no lengths the Republican incumbent Andrew Boone (Kelsey Grammer) and Democratic candidate Donald Greenleaf (Dennis Hopper) won’t go to in order to curry Bud’s favor. As the underhanded antics of their campaign managers, played by Stanley Tucci and Nathan Lane, create hilarious consequences, Bud realizes that beyond the implications for the nation, this is his shot at winning his daughter’s respect.

Two-time Oscar® winner Kevin Costner (1990 winner, Best Director and
Best Picture, Dances with Wolves) stars as Bud Johnson, a regular guy
whose life has just taken an unexpected turn. Costner is aided by an
all-star lineup including two-time Oscar® nominee Dennis Hopper (1986,
Best Supporting Actor, Hoosiers, 1969, Best Screenplay, East Rider),
five-time Emmy® winner Kelsey Grammer (2005 winner, Outstanding
Voiceover Performance, “The Simpsons”; 2003, 1997, 1994 and 1993
winner, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy, “Frasier”), Nathan Lane
(The Producers, The Lion King), Stanley Tucci (The Devil Wears Prada,
Kitt Kittredge: An American Girl), George Lopez (Beverly Hills
Chihuahua, TV’s “The George Lopez Show”) and newcomer Madeline Carroll
as Molly, Johnson’s wise-beyond-her years daughter.
 
 DVD and Blu-ray BONUS FEATURES
 • Inside the Campaign: The Politics of Production – Go behind the scenes for a look at the all-star cast, the real political pundits and the small town location of Belen, New Mexico that all combined to bring this movie to life.
 • Deleted & Extended Scenes – With optional commentary by director and writer Joshua Michael Stern)
 •  Audio Commentary – Feature commentary with writer and director Joshua Michael Stern and writer Jason Richman.

    Time. Give your child YOUR time. Your gaming, your tv, your sports, etc are NOTHING compared to this child and this child’s NEED for your one on one time. Listen. Play. Everyday make sure your child knows you love them through the undivided time you give them. Make your child a priority OVER your other pursuits during your free time. Find ways to include them. On a death bed you will never hear a father say he wished he would have spent LESS time with his kids.

    Show them they are the most important thing on earth. Show your child how much you love them daily. Strongly rule with a gentle hand. Always take time out to recognize the smallest accomplishment. Kiss your kids and hug them often. Tell your kids you are sorry if you make a mistake, let them know you are not perfect, but you are trying your best. Listen to what they have to say, sometimes they have an untainted outlook on things, you might learn something from them. Plan on playing hookie from other obligations on occassion and make the day all about your child. Let it be their special day. Don’t wait for a special occassion for a gift, just do it out of the blue, because they exist and they are yours. Read to your kids and teach them to budget and save. So emotion in front of your kids, I never knew men were allowed to cry. This isn’t weakness it is human. Brag on your kids, they are the legacy you will leave behind, show them how proud you are. Teach them right from wrong but on try to rule them, let them make some of their own decissions, when it comes down to the wire most will follow their heart and choose the right path. Don’t show disappointment, quickest way to break a spirit. Never lie to your kids, it is next to impossible to rebuild lost trust.

    Jump right in and don’t be offended if your wife doesn’t think you dressed your child right or did this differently. That happens all the time. Change the diapers, dress them, feed them, bond with them. You are as important as mommy is.

    When you are watching your child it is not considered “babysitting.” Also give your wife atleast a half hour break everyday… she deserves it and will reward you for it…

    Be patient. Try to help mom as much as possible and be involved. Spend qaulity alone time with your family and really get to know them and all their quirks so you aren’t having to rely on others to tell you what is needed.
