Bill Mitchell is the philandering and distant President of the United States. Dave Kovic is a sweet-natured and caring Temp Agency operator, who by a staggering coincidence looks exactly like the President. As such, when Mitchell wants to escape an official luncheon, the Secret Service hires Dave to stand in for him. Unfortunately, Mitchell suffers a severe stroke whilst having sex with one of his aides, and Dave finds himself stuck in the role indefinitely. The corrupt and manipulative Chief of Staff, Bob Alexander, plans to use Dave to elevate himself to the White House - but unfortunately, he doesn't count on Dave enjoying himself in office, using his luck to make the country a better place, and falling in love with the beautiful First Lady...
Leave your thoughts about Dave.
| Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeSerious moviegoers will be swayed by its many 'Being There'-like similarities as Kline's engaging personality and good-natured beatitudes are a perfect bromide for the nation's ills. |
| TIME MagazineRichard SchickelA genial, expertly played political comedy proves that the spirit of Mr. Smith still lives. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellVery entertaining! Stupid entertainment, sure, but it's a lot of fun! |
| Solzy at the MoviesDanielle SolzmanPaying an homage to the prior work of the great Frank Capra, Dave offers a fresh contemporary take on a classic trope. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonThis smooth-as-silk comedy could not be more timely, or connect more hopefully with our current national consciousness. |
| Independent on SundayQuentin CurtisIt's opportunistic, superficial, and great fun. |
| The Associated PressPatricia BibbyIvan Reitman's direction and Gary Ross' screenplay use intelligence and warmhearted sentiment to make Dave into wonderful lighthearted entertainment. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrIt's a beautifully proportioned, wonderfully complete movie. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThough replete with amusing situations and clever lines, its strongest suit is the delicately pitched comic performances of its actors, most especially star Kevin Kline. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelDave has been directed by Ivan Reitman in a refreshingly restrained fashion-there are plenty of quiet passages, rare for American movies these days-which compliments Kevin Kline's wonderful work as well. |
