Back then, you had to cover for the morally bankrupt, comatose stroke victim with an oblivious, "average joe" impostor. Nowadays you can have it all at once. How progressive!

Mr. Kline Goes to Washington. Cute and pleasant, if insanely naive in its depiction of federal politics, but that's part of its gee-whiz charm.

If only Trump and Pence would have strokes and be replaced by Kevin Kline and Ben Kingsley. A film that is much better than it ought to be due to a superb cast (mainly Kline, Grodin, Weaver, Rhames, Kingsley and Linney).

It is a bit too simplistic, convenient, and cute. But the performances are good, especially from Kline, and it is an intriguing story.

Surprisingly this actually works in a West Wing meets The Parent Trap kinda way. The attraction here is Kevin Kline, who is simply a delight. I would completely understand if someone thought this was cloying or mawkish, and its not really all that funny, but if you lean in to the schmaltzy corniness and think of it as more of a light drama its actually sort of good.

Dave is essentially a Disney fairytale aimed at adults. We have the young hero, played by Kline, who makes the movie work on his charm alone. A menacing villain with Langella; Weaver's the love interest, Dunn's the sidekick. We've got risk, transformation (though only of character), setbacks and sacrifice - there's even a song or two - all neatly wrapped up with a happy ending. The film's a decent RomCom, but the political content is naive at best and treated the way magic usually is.

It's not bad in a movie-making sense but it's out-of-the-park bland and cornball. No balls on this thing whatsoever, no memorable dialog, no laughs, no moments. It just exists.
