“Swing State” (*** out of four) was a very entertaining comedy about a struggling Seattle radio DJ (Alex Beh) who creates a fictitious conservative radio personality and becomes an overnight sensation that sweeps America and results in numerous complications with both politicians (Billy Zane) and news anchors (Sean Astin). Beh is dynamite in the lead role and is backed by a strong supporting cast. An impressive directorial debut for Jonathan Sheldon who also wrote and seems heavily inspired by early-period Barry Levinson and Jonathan Demme.
