Review of Dave

Dave (1993)
7/10
Easy-Going Fun for All!
10 April 2008
What can you really say against 'Dave'? This is one of the few films that I can put in any time and always enjoy it. Dave is an average guy who just happens to look exactly like the president of the United States. When the real president falls into a coma, Dave is hired to take his place so as to avoid a potential scandal. As Dave begins to explore his new job, he begins to see some things that need changing... and he begins to change them.

As far as light-hearted comedies go, you can't go wrong here. The cast is all top-notch, particularly Kevin Kline in the Oscar-nominated role of Dave. I'm usually not a huge fan of Mr. Kline, but I truly enjoyed him in this film. His 'president' is nothing short of inspiring. Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Frank Langella, Ving Rhames, and Kevin Dunn all provide great support. Check this one out- you might be surprised how much you like it. 7/10 stars!
