Dave

Dave

1993

Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) looks so much like President Bill Mitchell that he's asked to stand in for him after the chief executive suffers an unexpected stroke. Stuck in the White House till Mitchell's staff (led by an unctuous Frank Langella) can decide what to do, Dave gets into the part, passing legislation and even developing a crush on Mitchell's estranged First Lady (Sigourney Weaver). Ivan Reitman directed this charming political comedy.

In a country where anybody can become President, anybody just did
