Trivia:
In the scene where Kate is viewing footage (including the surreptitiously-recorded video of Molly), she is not using a video editing device but is instead using a Chyron Duet, a broadcast graphics machine (which can use video files but is generally not used for viewing video). moreGoofs:
Continuity: At Kate's table, when Molly is confessing to Kate, the phone is ringing. When Kate watches the "hidden camera" replay, we do not hear the phone. moreQuotes:
Kate Madison: [bowling] Remember when we were kids? This was the only thing to do on weekends.Bud Johnson: [laughs] It still is.

This was obviously meant to remind you of the 2000 election fiasco in Florida. The film basically centers around Kevin Costner's character, who is lazy, irresponsible, and a mess-but he's lovable and fun. His vote will make the difference in giving either candidate (Kelsey Grammar or Dennis Hopper) New Mexico's five electoral votes, which will push him over the limit to win. Both candidates then devise a series of ads pitched specifically at him. There were themes about responsibility, being informed, and hogging your time in the limelight during your 15 minutes of fame during this film. I think it was hilarious and was truly surprised by the ending. See it!!! *** out of ****
