Swing State

I tried very hard to find something good to say about this film, but it's not possible. This film is a satire of sorts, but it is rooted in sexism, unintelligible dialogue and really tired stereotypes. It is possible that some may find this funny,but for a satire this really lacked any sensitivity or insight and instead came across as a movie of ridiculous one-liners. Whomever wrote this seems to have a very rudimentary understanding of human nature. of politics and of relationships because the characters just say and do idiotic things. The acting in this film is beyond bad. Beh is garish and unrelatable and the rest of the cast equally so. This seems to be a shortcoming in the directing, but it is hard to tell. The editing and sound make it feel like a movie my high schooler made. I didn't care for the music, but by the time I noticed how bad it was I had already determined the movie to be a flop. Not worth seeing.

Alex Beh and Taryn Manning really went astray with this one. Alex Beh completely overplayed this role, making him seem like an ignoramus, which is what the director intended, I assume. The directing and writing of this film are seriously deficient. It's quite alarming that this could be deemed a political film when it's not smart enough to be placed in that genre. Aside from the really overdone acting, the writing of the movie is just bad. There's no other way to say it. I read this is the filmmakers first feature length film as a writer and director and I think this should be his last. I rented this movie on VOD and was really blown away by how this film wreaked of the entitled younger generations of this country. I think everyone involved should take a few political science courses, read a few more books and never make a movie again.

We rented this movie and others for a transcontinental flight. As it goes with long flights we were desperate for entertainment of any sort. We watched one great movie, one average movie and then this... and this was bad. It was so bad my gf suggested we turn it off. We tried for a few minutes to give it a fair go but this movie is unwatchable.

The writing is not funny. There is no way to say this better. It's kind of dumb college humor that maybe your bonehead 20 year old brother would think was funny if very drunk. For someone with half a brain this movie will not be funny. The story was predictable. We knew what was going to happen almost exactly because it was such a lame script. The acting was very bad. Alex Beh overplayed this one. In fairness to Beh the part was crafted poorly giving him not much to work with. The other actors were...forgettable. The soundtrack was just annoying.

In summary, don't even watch this if you're desperate.

The ignorant, small-minded bigot who wrote this movie should know that it is his disgraceful, mocking tone and his peers incessant bashing of the rest of America that helped swing the election, bravo. I have been voting since 1960 and have seen many elections unfold. This kind of pretentious liberal drivel is hateful. I went to DC to protest this week and am quite certain the writer of this shameful film, the director and the actors were doing nothing but whining in their Hollywood mansions. You are the problem. This film is an embarrassment to real liberal Americans. I hope you reconsider your cheap shots and low level humor and make a movie of substance that does not denigrate others. Congratulations on making one of the worst political films that this country has seen.

My buddies and I read a review of this in our college newspaper. We are in our late 20s and in grad school and 3 out of 4 of us thought this movie was one of the worst we have seen and 1 person just thought it was eh. We study political science and film and find this movie to have no merit as a political piece or as a work of art. The humor is corny and played, the story hackneyed and the acting canned. The director really relished in instructing his cast to be over the top and it did not work. Alex Beh was particularly terrible but all of the acting was disappointing. There was something really off about the sound and the music and it was a distraction. I can't say I am disappointed in the movie but I am definitely disappointed in my college newspaper for encouraging me to rent this film. Usually movies that are direct VOD are direct VOD for a reason.
