Dave is a comedy film where Dave Kovic, who is a lookalike to the current President of America, is tasked by the Secret Service to actually become the double for the President in public appearances. Of course, the film plays into the fact that the President has an extramarital affair and ends up having a stroke so Dave ends up impersonating the President himself. It is your typical plotline whereby Dave improves the current political situation and is your everyday person, doing some good in the world. Dave's charming personality wins over a lot of his staff, except for the Chief of Staff who was planning to use this opportunity to become the President. While the humor doesn't come gushing, it is placed in strategic places to remind you that this is still a comedy film, but that you can still take the film seriously. As with a lot of these types of film, the ending can feel abrupt and unsatisfying but overall, an engaging film.
