The month of August will be a good one for Paula Patton. Not only will she be feature with Keifer Sutherland in the horror film 'Mirrors', but she will also appear opposite Kevin Costner in a much lighter film, 'Swing Vote'.

'Swing Vote' follows the story of Bud Johnson (Kevin Costner), an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving twelve-year-old daughter Molly. She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote... her dad's.

'Swing Vote' is a comical look at the journey of one father and daughter who discover that everyone has the power to change the world.

The film also stars Dennis Hopper, Nathan Lane, Kelsey Grammer, Stanley Tucci, George Lopez, and Madeline Carroll.
