Recount

(HBO, Sun., May 25/Mon., May 26, 9 p.m.)

The Rundown: HBO revisits the 2000 presidential election ballot controversy with an entertaining original movie.

Pros: Good portrayal of the Florida vote recount debacle that narrowly gave George W. Bush the presidency over Al Gore. Actress Laura Dern gives a notable performance as Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris.

Cons: Tough to keep up with all the various characters involved in the recount escapade.

The score: HBO provides an entertaining and historical account of arguably the most controversial presidential election in American history.
