Nice movie for a Sunday afternoon, but certainly not a Saturday night movie. Nice story. Nothing more and nothing less.

The formula seems so simple: a strong plot, well developed and with amusing dialogues, subtle work by a director on a roll, a few strong supporting roles (the extremely unpleasant Langella, the expressionless grumbler Rhames (the latter close-up!), the beautifully nervous Grodin), a few strong scenes (Dave convincing the two advisers with his speech and his body language, the presidential couple as impersonators), and an elegant conclusion of the dilemma how Dave can leave the Oval Office without "losing face". What elevates this film from decent craftsmanship to an above-average comedy, though, is Kevin Kline's masterful portrayal, timid at first, then confident, and finally confident enough to pull off the great disappearing act to perfection—actually this is totally his movie. The only downside is that terrible American television movie feel-good Christmas music, but we'll just look (listen) over that.

Good film in which a lookalike of the president steps in when he is in a coma. A fun and yet original fact that has been amusingly elaborated here. The film has the right tone and breathes Frank Capra. A cast with quite a few well-known names and Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver are excellently cast together. Also some nice cameos (especially Oliver Stone's).
