Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Davis P Dave (1993) is a feel good movie. It's nothing too deep or heavy, it's just good entertainment. The movie stars Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, and Frank Langella. The president, Bill Mitchell, needs a man who looks just like him to be his double, and when he has a very serious medical episode, they end up asking that double to "fill in" for the president, because one of the presidents top officials (Frank Langella) doesn't want the Vice President to assume power because ultimately he wants to assume power. The movie gets going when Dave (Kevin Kline) starts to pretend to be the president. There is some humor in the film, given the plot, but what's really good about the movie is the romantic aspect and the somewhat dramatic parts, facing big decisions in the presidents told, and that sort of thing. The chemistry between Kline and Weaver is good, they are great actors on their own, and they work well together. Their chemistry is my favorite thing about the entire film. It really is enchanting, they couldn't have picked two better actors to play the roles. Overall, I would recommend the film to anyone. 8/10 for Dave.

Reaper The tagline, "In a country where anybody can become President, anybody just did" was probably funnier before November 2016.Dave is a cute dramedy about an ordinary guy who finds himself posing as the POTUS. In the real world, this would overwhelm a person, but Kevin Kline finds it a simple thing, thanks to his sleazy Chief of Staff, Frank Langella at his most unctuous.A fairly lightweight movie, Dave manages to avoid questions about the majesty of the office, and deals mainly in rom-com situations. Ivan Reitman is -- probably correctly -- making this a lightweight fluff piece, and not a deep politico-social statement. Kline and Weaver make it work without heavy lifting, and it's an enjoyable, non-taxing diversion for two hours. Think House of Cards without the angst.

WinterbornTM Dave is a 1993 comedy directed by Ivan Reitman (of Ghostbusters fame) and starring Kevin Kline who plays Dave Kovic, a man who has an uncanny resemblance to the president of the United States, Bill Mitchell, and is put in his place after he enters a coma.This is a feel-good movie about a simple man who takes a huge role as the leader of USA, and with his generous and kind spirit tries to change things a little for the better as much as he can. Kevin Kline is terrific in portraying both Dave Kovic and Bill Mitchell. The president is a cold man, who has lost all interest in his wife, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver, even cheating on her and also involving himself in some shady business. Enter Dave, a man working at a temp agency with a heart of gold.The cast in this movie is fantastic. As I mentioned, Sigourney Weaver plays his wife, who knows all about her husband's indiscretions and is sick of him. Frank Langella plays Bob Alexander, the chief of staff, and even though he does a great job acting in this movie, his character sometimes feels too much like a cartoonish villain. Ving Rhames plays the head of the security, who must keep an eye on the president at all times, and sometimes shows insecurity about trying to protect a clown, as he perceives Dave at first. Ben Kingsley also has a short role as vice-president Nance and he steals every scene.Of course some of the plot elements in the movie are a tad ridiculous and this could never work, but frankly, it doesn't need to. It's just a movie with a great premise, and for the most part it works. It has the right balance of comedy, drama and character development. A perfect movie for a rainy day, when you just wanna lay on the couch with a blanket on and a cup of cocoa. I give this movie a 8 out of 10!

Python Hyena Dave (1993): Dir: Ivan Reitman / Cast: Kevin Kline, Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella, Ving Rhames, Kevin Dunn: Wonderful film with Kevin Kline portraying the United States President as well as a caring look-alike who helps people find jobs. This man is Dave and he impersonates the President for fun but when the real President suffers a stroke while in the midst of an affair Dave is brought in to duplicate him. The greedy and corrupt chief of staff wishes to avoid the worthy Vice-President stepping in. Dave accepts this position but notices cold vibes from the First Lady as well as great wrongs in priorities and sets out to make a difference. Director Ivan Reitman makes the film surprising and pleasant. This is quite different from previous films he has directed such as Ghostbusters and Stripes. Kline engages viewers with two roles while Sigourney Weaver is smart as the First Lady. Rather than surrender to tacky romantic clichés the screenplay renders their relationship intelligent and witty. Frank Langella is superb as the ruthless chief of staff in what could have been just a standard villain. Ving Rhames plays a bodyguard advocating duty and honor. Again the role avoids standard clichés for sincerity. Kevin Dunn plays the Communications Director who ends up having a chance of heart when he realizes that Dave is a good man. About the difference one can make if he believes enough in the truth. Score: 10 / 10
