CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Dave (Kevin Kline) takes over a cabinet meeting to balance the Federal Budget in order to save a children's homeless shelter.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The ghost of Frank Capra must have smiled when he saw Dave, an amusing and effective update of one of Capra's favorite themes -- the scrupulously honest little guy who becomes a force for good against a corrupt system. Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) runs an employment agency and seems to genuinely enjoy finding work for people who need it. He also bears a striking resemblance to the president of the United States, Bill Mitchell (also played by Kline) and occasionally gets work as a Bill Mitchell impersonator. One day, Dave gets a call from the Secret Service -- for security purposes, they want to hire him to act as a decoy for an upcoming appearance by the president. All goes well, but later that evening President Mitchell suffers a massive stroke while in bed with his mistress. Wanting to keep the matter a secret, two of the president's top advisors appeal to Dave to stand in as Bill Mitchell until he regains his health. One of the men behind this scheme, Bob Alexander (Frank Langella), hopes to use Mitchell's absence to promote his own right-wing political agenda, but after a few weeks "in office," Dave decides it's time to promote some changes of his own that will help increase employment and keep homeless shelters open. Dave also finds himself growing fond of Ellen Mitchell (Sigourney Weaver), the President's wife, while Ellen sees in Dave the idealism her husband left behind years ago. Dave features numerous cameo appearances by politicians, Washington insiders, and journalists; Oliver Stone also appears to explain a conspiracy theory regarding sudden changes in Bill Mitchell's behavior.

"Mr. President!"
"...Yes?"
And he knows Bob can't say anything back. Love that power move.

2:05- the Commerce Secretary gives the perfect reaction of someone who was not expecting to hear the boss mention their name during the big meeting.

Love how the cabinet members went from not wanting to change the way things are done to rooting for Dave because he made them feel like they’re a part of something important

The fact that this scene is considered unrealistic is probably the biggest condemnation of our society that I can think of…

As a kid I was like "Yeah they can balance the budget, no problem!" As an adult, I busted out laughing.

I enjoy the small detail of the Commerce Secretary being the most enthusiastic about saving the homeless shelters after being the first one called on for cutting other spending.

This is hands down my favorite movie about politics.
I don't care how unrealistic it is. Just pour it into my veins.

I absolutely love this movie even if it is totally unrealistic.

"Dave" is one of those special movies you can watch time and time again; it's always funny, entertaining and insightful. Of course the stellar cast makes it all the better. Kevin Kline can read the yellow pages and it would be great. A quick look at his filmography says it all: from "Sophie's Choice" to "The Big Chill" to "In and Out" he makes the films shine.

Frank Langella truly had a gift for playing villains. This has always been one of my favorites. We need politicians like Dave.

Anyone else currently binge watching these 1990's movies? Dave, A Few Good Men, The American President, Air Force One, Rookie of The Year, Richie Rich, The Sandlot, etc............just reliving my childhood.

If Kline had turned down this role, the only actor who could have made this still a heartwarming classic would have been Robin Williams.

Frank Langella is such an amazing actor. He’s leaning so hard into being the bad guy and just crushing it.

Those Langella death stares are one of the best parts of the movie.

The attention to tone in this scene is incredible - there's such a wide spectrum for where they could've gone with this character in terms of persuading everyone through pretentious folksiness or cocky immature authority, or embarrassing people with Murray's numbers etc.. but instead they found this perfect narrow space where he's just getting everyone to play ball with him and feel good about doing so. Masterclass direction and acting from Reitman, Kline and every bit player in the scene.

One of the best scenes. Langella’s character is seething and there is not one goddamn thing he could do about it. Love it!!!
21 |
This whole scene just feels so cathartic lol.

I love his accountant friend’s reaction to being asked to help with the Budget 😂
