As usual, Kevin Kline and Sigorney Weaver give fine, light performances. A good supporting cast allow these two to waltz through this romatic comedy while barely touching the ground.... Full review

I don't see how anyone could not like this film. A great mix of sharp satire and lighthearted comedy. Kevin Kline is superb in a dual role and the supporting cast is as good as it gets for comedy. I especially... Full review

Dave is a funny movie. It is about a president lookalike recruited as a momentary stand-in for the president. The story is funny. The acting is good. The direction was almost perfect and overall it was a pretty good movie. This... Full review

This feel-good political movie is ridiculously preposterous so you have to be ready to go along with the story....knowing it is so far-fetched it's laughable (someone faking being the President of the United States and getting away with it).There's also... Full review

Both hosts morph into clingy nerds when faced with beautiful actresses.....Dave had to become less abrasive and more committed to his monologue;....Early on, Leno was the better stand-up....Leno's incompetence became a national joke-until, of course, the tables inexplicably turned.... ...

Life is what you make of it, so go out and paint something beautiful to leave a memory" Personally, I loved Holiday Heart, but I wasn't all that crazy for Ving Rhames in drag either, but he gave a good performance.
i didnt particularly like seeing him as a drag queen either, but he played the part well - actors do that kind of thing to demonstrate how versatile and talented they are , and he definitely is - certainly 1000 times better than these untalented rappers trying to pass themselves off as actors!

Mild critiques aside, if you're looking for an enjoyable, easy-to-watch movie, Dave is worth your time.
In fact, the talented Kevin Kline plays Dave with such simplicity that he brings to mind Wilbur Post from TV's Mr. Ed .

As the President, Dave is joyful, direct, real.....For all its modest charm, Dave is a true throwback to the Capra days, a political comedy just cockeyed enough to triumph over cynicism.....Mostly, Dave has fun, and the movie mirrors his mood;....Nevertheless, it would be silly to take Dave on such a literal level.....In this movie, the rebirth of hope in American politics becomes both a joke and a giddy fairy tale..... ...
