Description

Academy Award-winner and Golden Globe-nominee Kevin Kline and Academy Award and Emmy-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Sigourney Weaver star in the critically acclaimed comedy about an ordinary guy named Dave who is asked to double for the president of the United States. What is supposed to be a one-time stint turns into a permanent masquerade when the president is stricken mortally ill, and Dave finds himself caught between the ambitions of a group of powerful people and his own basic ideas of right and wrong. In a country where anybody can become president, anybody just did! Directed by Emmy-nominee Ivan Reitman and co-starring Academy Award-winner Ben Kingsley, Charles Grodin, Frank Langella, Ving Rhames, Laura Linney, and a host of cameos from real-life celebrities, reporters and U.S. senators. Siskel & Ebert give "two thumbs up" to the film Newsweek calls "Ivan Reitman's best comedy since 'Ghostbusters'."

As long as you don’t take the premise seriously this is a very entertaining movie, and that’s why I go to the movies. As a comedy this is very well written, acted and directed. I would watch it again on a rainy day just to feel good.

Very immature film, with great cast

This is an unbelievably poor production. Very unlikely scenario, and unconvincing roles. The cast is great, but the plot is lame and direction poor.

Great! Love it!

First time I saw it, it entertained me all the way... the story was good... comedy and drama. Kelvin Kline is a great actor!

What would you do if you could be President? That is the premise when Dave Kovic is hired to impersonate the President when he suffers a stroke. What changes could take place when the presidency meets the common man? Get ready for a laugh riot.

Feeling Patriotic?

Nice movie. A little boring but i haven't seen it in a while. I guess that makes it good though, because I did remember it!
