A look alike is recruited to help hide a health emergency for the sitting president. What could go wrong? Entertaining and worth a watch.
Winning & Well-intentioned comedy. 9/10
Great balance of humor and politics. Smart script. Very likable protagonists. I can watch Dave once a month!
It’s a cute old comedy. Worth a watch makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Kline kills it and it all works out. Less politician, more human. Idealistic with a bolstered 90’s cast. Weaver, Rhames & Grodin stand out.
7/10 feel good movie with a pretty solid cast
Shouldn’t have been as good as it was. Premise was silly but Kevin Klein was so likable that it was easy to get past.
When you veto someone's funding, that is not a mistake
I adore this film. An average Joe does right for the country and those around him. An aspirational comedy mixing humor, heart and brains.
Great balance of humor and politics. Not usually what I watch but I really enjoyed this movie.
