About this movie

Just who runs this country anyway? For comedy fans, the answer is - Dave. KEVIN KLINE (A Fish Called Wanda, In & Out) and SIGOURNEY WEAVER (Working Girl, Ghostbusters) star in this box-office winner about an uncanny Presidential lookalike named Dave, who's recruited by the Secret Service to become a momentary stand-in for the President of the United States. However, things don't turn out exactly as planned and Dave finds himself continuing his masquerade as Chief Executive indefinitely...IVAN REITMAN (Ghostbusters and 6 Days, 7 Nights) directs and supporting players FRANK LANGELLA, VING RHAMES, BEN KINGSLEY and CHARLES GRODIN supply more reasons to stand up and cheer. Many real-life Washington politicos and pundits join the fun as Dave uses ordinary-guy savvy to deal with the extraordinary responsibilities of the Oval Office. "Hilarious fun. Dave wins a landslide of laughter." - Susan Wloszczyna, USA TODAY MPAA Rating: PG-13 Copyright 1993 Warner Brothers. All rights reserved.

Ratings and reviews

Dave is my favorite President movie of all time. I attempted to show this in my Civics class and purchased on Youtube Premium. Fail. Then, I bought on Fandango. Fail again. Apparently, VCast is not compatible with Dave. But, HDMI is, which I found out about 1 hour and 50 minutes into class. So, I was excited to show the movie two days later. Unfortunately, the rental period was 48 hours. Hence, I was forced to purchase Dave once again. Third time's the charm! Go Dave!

This movie holds up, even until 2017. If you need a feel good movie in this election year, watch this film! Makes me want to tell Alec Baldwin to run for POTUS...Love Trumps Hate.

I watched this movie again today and was grateful to see that there are still movies worth watching. I remember this movie from years ago and it was wonderful then and today it's just as impactful as when it first came out. I recommend this movie to everyone who needs a reminder of how out of bounds politics has gotten recently. Brava!!!!!!!
