yesterday's news

swing vote--
would have been socio-politically relevant eight years ago, perhaps interesting and clever four years ago. today, for a host of reasons, the whole exercise feels quaint at Best, most often schlocky and dated. reads like an extended sitcom from 2001. kelsey grammer and george lopez feed this notion most, sticking out like...well, like hammy television actors. they, like kevin costner himself--who, to be fair, manages to craft a likeable loser, earns a few laughs--are power players from another market in days gone by. coming to your home theater yesteryear, only on vhs.
schlocky: 1 star
