"Dave, I would have taken a bullet for you." -That gets me every time! Dave is truly one of the most underrated, heartfelt and fantastically written movies. I love it! Also, Kevin Kline is one of the most underrated actors of our time. Wish he had done more after the '90s.
"I would've taken a bullet for you." Simple, sincere... That line...is the hallmark of what it means to be a good leader. When those you lead aren't commanded to do what needs to be done, or because they feel a sense of obligation or compulsion, but because they WANT to...because your leadership is worthy of their effort.
Frank Langella is so good in this. He makes Bob believably intimidating without becoming a cartoon villain. I really wish the problems in the US were simple enough that they could be solved by good people sitting down together and talking things out.
@@LordVolkov Langella definitely went all out as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe. What a great villain and you could tell he was having a blast with that part.
I love Ving Rhames in this. He goes from, "I'm here." To, "Do you think a sweater vest would look good on me?" And then him being in the campaign office at the end! Chef's kiss. It was such a nuanced performance that deserves a lot more credit.
yeah, having not seen "Dave" since the last century, I always pictured Ving Rhames in a sweater in the last scene. PLUS, this thought came to me years ago, when he took the First Lady and Dave to see President Mitchell, he did take a bullet. he took them where NO ONE was allowed to be. Ving Rhames says, "We can get in a lot of trouble!" this showed, he could 'take a bullet'!
Kevin Kline won the Oscar for Fish Called Wanda in 1988, five years later, after several ensemble pieces he finally graduated to leading man in this film. Just a good wholesome film.
Kevin Kline is fantastic actor. He actually won an Oscar for playing Otto in "A Fish Called Wanda". He was in a great western with Kevin Costner and Danny Glover called "Silverado".
Silverado was an interesting film to say the least. My biggest issue with it was it felt sort of disjointed and all over the place story wise. Amazing cast though.
Oh yes! The heart in this movie so perfectly matches her taste. And I really thought she would have recognized Ving Rhames as Luther from Mission Impossible, although he does look very different with hair.
I love the sheer numbers of real-life personalities who got cameos, from celebrities like Arnold Schwartzenegger and Oliver Stone, to politicians like Tip O'Neill, even to the reporters in the press room. Such a who's who of early '90s politics
@@Kasino80yeah, I first saw "The MaLaughlin Group" 30 years ago. I never knew a program like it existed! over the years, many have tried to have the same type of program, but none have come close! p.s......I hope Eleanor had a nice funeral.
I’ve caught myself doing this from time to time on the regular ever since her reaction. Glad she liked this one, wish Cass and Carly both would have reacted though.
Props to Frank Langella, he always adds a touch of class to a film. He can terrify onscreen without even trying. Great work from the whole cast, really, and Laura Linney looks so stunning!
It makes me so happy that you watched this. Not many people even know this movie exists. This came out when I was a jaded 16yr old, and I so wanted to have a president like this as well. Great reaction
@@cindyknudson2715 FDR? If you're thinking Trump, you ought to pay attention to all the fraud that he has been involved in. Trump University, stealing funds from the Trump Foundation, the valuations of his business to get loans AND to avoid taxes, not to mention all his massive character flaws! Dave is someone who cares about people, he'd not be funnelling money to himself and his family...
Kevin Kline has so much range. He makes a great villain (like Otto) but also a romantic lead, dramatic lead, and he's very funny when he wants to be. Great actor, all around. And Sigourney is an icon. I love this movie.
The lady reporter is (real life reporter) Helen Thomas. She's been covering nearly every presidential press conferences since John F. Kennedy.-"Thank you Mr. President" was her tag line.
"Are they gonna TELL the First Lady? They have to tell the First Lady. Ah, are they gonna tell The First Lady!" The Bad Guy Politician is played by Frank Langella. He rose to fame as the titular Count in 'Dracula (1979)', so yeah, he's generally Not a Good Guy. ;).
Kevin Kline, who plays the President and Dave, is one of my favorite actors. He is an award-winning actor on stage and screen. Some of his best movies: - Silverado - A western, he plays a gunslinger with a heart of gold, in a cast including Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Kevin Costner, Jeff Goldblum, and John Cleese. - The Big Chill - A group of college friends reunite after one of their own takes his own life. Lots of amazing music - The Pirates of Penzance - Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta takes a tough comic turn with a huge cast. Kline reprises his Tony Award-winning role as The Pirate King, with the rest of the original, Broadway cast: Linda Ronstadt, Rex Smith, George Rose, and Tony Azito. The only one who is not the original cast is Angela Lansbury as Ruth. - In & Out - As a beloved high school teacher in a small town outed on the Academy Awards telecast by a former student who just won Best Actor. Tom Sellick, Debbie Reynolds, Joan Cusack, and Matt Dillon. - A Fish Called Wanda - Written and starring Monty Python member John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Python member Michael Palin. Kline won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. - Grand Canyon - An ensemble drama with Kline, Mary McDonnell, Danny Glover, and others. - De-Lovely - A musical fantasia/biography of composer-lyricist Cole Porter with Kline as Porter. Ashley Judd plays his wife. Lots of great songs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s written by Porter. - French Kiss - A rom-com with Meg Ryan...Kline plays the French leading man. - Soapdish - A huge ensemble comedy with Sally Field, Whoopi Goldberg, Robert Downey, Jr, and Elizabeth Shue. Behind the scenes of a TV soap opera. - Chaplin - A biopic of Charlie Chaplin starring Robert Downey, Jr. as Chaplin. Kline plays silent film star Douglas Fairbanks, one of Chaplin's closest Hollywood friends. There are about 15 other solid films he's made. Silverado, The Big Chill, Grand Canyon, and French Kiss are all films written and/or directed by Laurence Kasdan
The Larry King interview about the conspiracy was with Oliver Stone. The inside joke was he is a conspiracy theorist. He did the movie JFK a couple of years before. Btw great movie starring Kevin Costner.
Everyone is telling you about all of Kevin Kline's movies which are so good...love Soapdish! But, he's also in one of the most heartbreaking movies, Sophie's Choice (along with the amazing Meryl Streep). It's a hard movie to watch, but well worth it.
Kevin Kline gave a ferocious performance in Sophie's Choice. (It is also one of Meryl Streeps most astonishingly amazing performances.) Another Kline film I absolutely love is The Emperor's Club. It is very underrated, and usually overshadowed by Dead Poets Society (because both movies are about a teacher at an exclusive prep school), but The Emperor's Club is definitely worth a watch.
The older woman reporter in the front row was Helen Thomas, a veteran White House reporter (for 50 years) who did cameos as herself in 2 films about Presidents.
When i was a little girl my family went to an Orioles game and they happened to be filming the scene of Dave throwing the 1st pitch, so I'm in the stadium somewhere.
Cassie you're not the only one who "wants a Dave" for President i.e. someone who doesn't put their own interests first, and who is definitely NOT a criminal.
"Silverado" (1985) is a good, solid western starring Kevin Kline and with an excellent supporting cast of Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Linda Hunt, and Brian Dennehy: if you are now ready for more Kevin Kline. But you can also find Kevin Kline in the story of a group of baby boomer college friends reuniting after 15 years who gather together for the funeral of yet another of the old group (corpse played by Kevin Costner). Costarring Glenn Close, William Hurt, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Berenger, & JoBeth Williams, this 1983 comedy drama has an outstanding sound track of old time rock and roll. Oscar nominated for Best Picture, someday watch "The Big Chill".
Bright Angel, Miss Cassie, you're 100% right. We desperately need politicians who are like Dave. Being nice to others, showing compassion, being humble, and helping others when needed are all attributes of a selfless person. Many people love living a life of greed and power and care less for the greater good of others. Serving themselves instead of the people who they should represent. Dave is a dream we all wish for in our hearts for our country.
Kline ...also to note..... married to Phoebe Cates (Known for Fast Times At Ridgemont High). People rolled their eyes at the time due to the 16 year age difference. Now they have been married 35 years with 2 children. A successful Hollywood romance...Well they live in NY...still.
Kevin Klein won an Oscar for playing Otto in "A Fish Called Wanda." Very good actor. The chemistry between him and Sigourney Weaver in "Dave" was outstanding.
Unbelievably cute when you didn't know they were the same actor, great fun watching as always! I hadn't seen this movie in a long time, it's like watching it with a friend!
I'd recommend "Life as a house", "The Big Chill" and "Sophie's Choice" as other good Kevin Kline films. And don't worry Kevin Costner in 13 Days plays a great role, and that should also segway great into his role in JFK.
I can't believe you didn't mention that the secret service guy was Marsellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction. (he looks odd with hair, but that voice is unmistakable) Oh, and if you want another role from 'Dave' you like, invite Carley over and check out 'French Kiss' with him and Meg Ryan. ...you'll both love it. It'll rank ALMOST up there with a Kevin Costner movie. :)
Cassie, I think every voter wants a Dave in charge. But, as the bard once said, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I also think that for most politicians they truly do want to do what's good for their constituents, but it seems that they fall victim to what others tell them to get re-elected instead of what's right. Take a look at the 1939 movie 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'. I think you'll enjoy it.
Ever since I stumbled across this channel I thought 'Hmm, Dave is a movie that Cassie would love...' and I'm glad to see it show up. A wonderful and charming film.
Back in the days when instead of just complaining about the current president, we made movies and TV series on how to be a great president. Can't we just go back to that instead of constant hate?
Ben Kingsley(Vice President Nance) won an Oscar for "Gandhi." Ving Rhames(Secret Service agent Stevenson) is also great in "Out Of Sight," with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson.
Cassie, I wondered if you'd pick up on Otto. So glad it was "after". Great action/comedy with Bruce Willis called RED. Also the sequel RED 2. All star cast, and I'm not kidding. Invite Carly for this one. -Thomas
The fact that she didn't realize Kevin Kline was playing both parts at first, or that he had played Otto in A Fish Called Wanda, is a testament to his talent and skill. Next, she should watch French Kiss.
Such a wonderfully underrated comedy. I've adored this movie since the first time I saw it as a young teen. Dave's speech after firing Bob about feeling powerless to help the country just feels more real as time goes on. I hope everyone strives to be like Dave in their lives: pleasant and selfless and finding joy in the happiness of others.
This has been one of my favorites for close to three decades. My wife and I watch it a couple of times a year. Had a lot of fun watching you react to it.
"They don't actually do this in real life, do they?" They do this all the time. Politicians, celebs, they do this and a lot more that can't be said here.
Oh my god. You don't have special knowledge - you haven't seen anything the rest of us aren't privy to. Almost nobody looks so similar to another person that they can fool an entire crowd. Don't embarrass yourselves so easily trying to force the Real World down to match your desperate delusions.
Oh wow, I've had that theme tune stuck in my head for 25+ years! It was used in a TV advert but I couldn't remember what for. Now I finally know where it's originally from. Thanks!
Interesting that a whole bunch of movies came out in the 1990s that were either presidentially themed or had the U.S. President as one of its main characters: Dave, The American President, Air Force One, Independence Day, Nixon, JFK, My Fellow Americans, Primary Colors, Wag the Dog, Absolute Power. Even Mars Attacks.
"We try not to say 'hate' in our house but that guy is getting close!" A few minutes later... "He's so mad and I hate him!" Well, so much for that guideline...
One of my favourite movies! Severly underrated! Also, all the cameos are due to the fact that Ivan Reitman is the director and they were all in his previous movies (Beethoven, Kindergarten Cop). And yes, that sandwich looks AMAZING.
Though it is out of my normal genre of movies, I watched this back in the 90s, and though it almost never came up since, I've never forgotten it. When I saw you were reacting to it. Must See!
Well, that's an interesting detail I had forgotten - Nance is sworn in as number 45. So, the fictional former shoe salesman is president, and the real former president 45 is now literally a shoe salesman.
Here are 2 suggestions for future movies: 1. A Walk in the Clouds 2. The Sea of Trees "Dave" is a classic that I saw when it first came out. Truly a "Feel Good" movie.
As soon as this showed up in my feed I got excited. I love this movie, but more than that, I knew instantly that Cassie would love it and will have a great reaction.
I'm so happy you enjoyed Dave. There have also been viewers who have seen A Fish Called Wanda and disliked Otto so much that they didn't think Kevin Kline could play likable characters. Dave was the film frequently mentioned that could change people's minds about Kline. Now you have to react to Soapdish and In & Out--two more fun Kevin Kline films. 😊
I have loved this movie ever since it came out. To this day, whenever there is talk in the news about balancing the budget, my best friend and I turn to each other and say "they just need to call Murray and get some hoagies up in here". Problem solved.
It's raining here. This wholesome, funny movie takes me back to my childhood like a warm blanket. Your reaction is so sweet and it makes it even more enjoyable. Like movie theater butter on, well... popcorn. Love the channel and looking forward to 13 Days!
Kevin Kline has several films where he plays dual roles. One of them he's playing the President again in "WILD WILD WEST" while also play the role of Agent Artemis Gordon. He also has a dual role in "FIERCE CREATURES" which has the same cast as A Fish Called Wanda. I happen to think it's funnier. You should watch both!
If you remember Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws, he played a similar role in a delightful comedy named "Moon Over Parador." It's outside the US, Dreyfuss is an actor who gets kinda forced into the role. Worth a watch.
@@liduck52 And I liked them both. Does that make me conflicted? Seriously, I didn't realize we were discussing morality here. I thought they were MOVIES.
Frank Langella was so funny in this movie. A pity he didn't have a mustache he could twist the ends of, lol! A truly great actor, too. His 1979 "Dracula" is among the best; he was young, handsome, and glamorous, you might like it, Cassie. "Dave" is a lot of fun, though while watching it, one wishes that there were more Daves than Bobs in Washington. (ANY Daves, actually.)
I've seen this movie more than a few times over the years, but I was pretty young when it first came out, and clearly it's been a while, cause I'm just now realizing that was Laura Linney playing the secretary, wow. I smiled big when I saw this thumbnail, cause I knew this would be a fun and sweet movie for you Cassie, and watching you enjoy a feel good movie makes me feel good. Catch you on the next one 😉
Yes This was a good movie. Might I recommend a few others around the same release time? Sneakers with Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley (The actor who played the VP in Dave), Searching for Bobby Fischer, Defending Your Life.
This has always been one of my favourite movies, even though I'm not a fan of Kevin Kline. He was good in this, but really the whole cast was amazing, especially Frank Langella, who played Bob Alexander.
If you haven't watched "My Fellow Americans" with Jack Lemon and James Garner, you are definitely missing out! They play 2, former presidents. So funny!
One of my favourites; saw this in the cinema with my aunt in ‘93. Might’ve fueled my love for politics. If you loved this, you should watch ‘Silverado’ with Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner. It’s a fun western.
Kevin Kline is a really versatile actor. One of my favorite films with him and Meg Ryan is French Kiss. He did such a good job, French people thought he was actually French. I would highly recommend the movie.
This is a classic already! At least in my eyes. Out off all the president movies maybe the sweetest because you have a balance of comedy drama and love story. So well written, directed and acted. I’ve seen it so many times and I never get tired of it. That’s when you know it will always be a hit.
love, love, love this movie...haven't seen it in a while, but so glad i got to rewatch it with you...man i wish we had people in the WH like this .....
Thank you for finally watching DAVE. I've asked plenty of times in the past for you to watch and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a favorite of mine. Here's a list of films that you have to watch with Kevin Kline. Silverado 1985, has a HUGE cast of actors you know well from all the films you've watched previously. In & Out 1997, The Big Chill 1983, Cry Freedom 1987, Kevin's first Feature film Sophie's Choice 1982, and Grand Canyon 1991, All good films with Kevin Kline that you will also enjoy. You can watch all of these with your sister. She'll enjoy them too.
Cassie! One of my most most favorite movies from my childhood!! I always wanted to be a President like Dave Kovic when I was a kid! Great acting in this one too, so many low key major actors/actresses making appearances in this one too. Laura Linney and Bonnie Hunt are two of my favs! Great Choice!! Love your channel keep it up!
Charles Grodin who played Murray here is a great actor , he has a movie with Robert de Niro called `` Midnight Run `` one of the best comedies ever , you will love it .
This movie is based on a 1894 Btitish novel by Anthony Hope, entitled "The Prisoner of Zenda." In the novel, the imposter must impersonate a King. It was made into (drama) movie in 1937. Then there was a (comedy) remake in 1988 called "Moon Over Parador," starring Richard Dreyfus, in which he must impersonate a South American dictator. I love that movie! Dreyfus is so funny! And then came this charmer in '93.
"Dave, I would have taken a bullet for you." -That gets me every time!
Dave is truly one of the most underrated, heartfelt and fantastically written movies. I love it!
Also, Kevin Kline is one of the most underrated actors of our time. Wish he had done more after the '90s.
Agreed! Kevin Kline was awesome in Silverado, too.
Agreed and let me add, in a movie of great performances all around, Ving Rhames as Duane is equally underrated.
Ving Rhames is a very underrated actor.
He was also great in In & Out
I concur!
"I would've taken a bullet for you." Simple, sincere...
That line...is the hallmark of what it means to be a good leader. When those you lead aren't commanded to do what needs to be done, or because they feel a sense of obligation or compulsion, but because they WANT to...because your leadership is worthy of their effort.
The highest compliment Duane could've made.
I’d vote for Dave.
Me too 👍
Damn right.
Unfortunately, no Dave's ever make it to Washington because only cutthroats and power seekers survive to get there
+1
But Dave isn't The Dude.. ..so, that's just, like, your opinion maaan..
Frank Langella is so good in this. He makes Bob believably intimidating without becoming a cartoon villain.
I really wish the problems in the US were simple enough that they could be solved by good people sitting down together and talking things out.
OMG I just realized that Gabriel (from The Americans) and Bob are the same actor! 😆 I’ve seen both so many times and never realized.
Langella excels at a villainous role without going overboard (unless the script requires ☠)
He did a pretty good version of Dracula too@@LordVolkov
And he eventually did play a President(well, former one) in Frost/Nixon.
@@LordVolkov Langella definitely went all out as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe. What a great villain and you could tell he was having a blast with that part.
"I would have taken a bullet for you." One of the best lines that makes my heart melt every time I hear it.
Lump in my throat
Same 💯🎯
My Mother (she was 67 at the time) burst out crying at that line....so did I. Ving's delivery was so perfect!

Check out Ving Rhames acceptance speech for a different role at the Golden Globes. It was astounding.

"Silverado" (1985) is a good, solid western starring Kevin Kline and with an excellent supporting cast of Kevin Costner, Scott Glenn, Danny Glover, Linda Hunt, and Brian Dennehy: if you are now ready for more Kevin Kline. But you can also find Kevin Kline in the story of a group of baby boomer college friends reuniting after 15 years who gather together for the funeral of yet another of the old group (corpse played by Kevin Costner). Costarring Glenn Close, William Hurt, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Berenger, & JoBeth Williams, this 1983 comedy drama has an outstanding sound track of old time rock and roll. Oscar nominated for Best Picture, someday watch "The Big Chill".
I love Silverado so damn much. Such a great movie.
Total agreement on Silverado - good flick!
Bright Angel, Miss Cassie, you're 100% right. We desperately need politicians who are like Dave. Being nice to others, showing compassion, being humble, and helping others when
needed are all attributes of a selfless person. Many people love living a life of greed and power and care less for the greater good of others. Serving themselves instead of the
people who they should represent. Dave is a dream we all wish for in our hearts for our country.
"They're not after me. I'm just standing in the way." 🇺🇸
33:35: "How can this end?" -- the best part of every narrative!
Kline ...also to note..... married to Phoebe Cates (Known for Fast Times At Ridgemont High). People rolled their eyes at the time due to the 16 year age difference. Now they have been married 35 years with 2 children. A successful Hollywood romance...Well they live in NY...still.
Dave is one of those handful of movies that are simply perfect.
Kevin Klein won an Oscar for playing Otto in "A Fish Called Wanda." Very good actor. The chemistry between him and Sigourney Weaver in "Dave" was outstanding.
Unbelievably cute when you didn't know they were the same actor, great fun watching as always! I hadn't seen this movie in a long time, it's like watching it with a friend!
I'd recommend "Life as a house", "The Big Chill" and "Sophie's Choice" as other good Kevin Kline films. And don't worry Kevin Costner in 13 Days plays a great role, and that should also segway great into his role in JFK.
Life as a house . I remember my Dad watching it… I never saw the man cry but that movie made it happen
I can't believe you didn't mention that the secret service guy was Marsellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction. (he looks odd with hair, but that voice is unmistakable)
Oh, and if you want another role from 'Dave' you like, invite Carley over and check out 'French Kiss' with him and Meg Ryan. ...you'll both love it. It'll rank ALMOST up there with a Kevin Costner movie. :)
Holy fuck! Sorry, I meant h*** fuck! Obviously, about Mr. Wallace.
Cassie, I think every voter wants a Dave in charge. But, as the bard once said, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely." I also think that for most politicians they truly do want to do what's good for their constituents, but it seems that they fall victim to what others tell them to get re-elected instead of what's right. Take a look at the 1939 movie 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'. I think you'll enjoy it.
Ever since I stumbled across this channel I thought 'Hmm, Dave is a movie that Cassie would love...' and I'm glad to see it show up. A wonderful and charming film.
Back in the days when instead of just complaining about the current president, we made movies and TV series on how to be a great president. Can't we just go back to that instead of constant hate?
Oh, I love this movie! We quote it often in our family. ❤
"We're walking, we're walking, and we're stopping." 😂😂😂
Ben Kingsley(Vice President Nance) won an Oscar for "Gandhi." Ving Rhames(Secret Service agent Stevenson) is also great in "Out Of Sight," with George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Don Cheadle, Michael Keaton, and Samuel L. Jackson.
The next movie that Ben Kingsley was in after this movie was Schindler’s List
Cassie,
I wondered if you'd pick up on Otto. So glad it was "after".
Great action/comedy with Bruce Willis called RED. Also the sequel RED 2. All star cast, and I'm not kidding. Invite Carly for this one.
-Thomas
The fact that she didn't realize Kevin Kline was playing both parts at first, or that he had played Otto in A Fish Called Wanda, is a testament to his talent and skill. Next, she should watch French Kiss.
i miss the days when an IDENTICAL STRANGER was the oddest thing we could've had in the White House.
Such a wonderfully underrated comedy. I've adored this movie since the first time I saw it as a young teen. Dave's speech after firing Bob about feeling powerless to help the country just feels more real as time goes on. I hope everyone strives to be like Dave in their lives: pleasant and selfless and finding joy in the happiness of others.
5:27 We better see this moment again at the 2024 Popcorn Awards - Year In Review
She even sort of did a Joe Pesci “ok ok ok” by herself there, without trying :D
This has been one of my favorites for close to three decades. My wife and I watch it a couple of times a year. Had a lot of fun watching you react to it.
This was such a great film! One of my favorites from the feel good era of the 90s
"I would have taken a bullet for you." Such a good line.
"They don't actually do this in real life, do they?"
They do this all the time. Politicians, celebs, they do this and a lot more that can't be said here.
Let's Go Brandon has quite a few.
Oh my god. You don't have special knowledge - you haven't seen anything the rest of us aren't privy to. Almost nobody looks so similar to another person that they can fool an entire crowd. Don't embarrass yourselves so easily trying to force the Real World down to match your desperate delusions.
Oh wow, I've had that theme tune stuck in my head for 25+ years! It was used in a TV advert but I couldn't remember what for. Now I finally know where it's originally from. Thanks!
"We need someone nice and kind."
Actually, we kinda have that now in the US.
Interesting that a whole bunch of movies came out in the 1990s that were either presidentially themed or had the U.S. President as one of its main characters:
Dave, The American President, Air Force One, Independence Day, Nixon, JFK, My Fellow Americans, Primary Colors, Wag the Dog, Absolute Power. Even Mars Attacks.
This is the kind of movie, I just know, Cassie would love
Oh! Also. If you like Kevin Kline (Dave), you should watch ‘In & Out’ with him. It’s incredible!
"We try not to say 'hate' in our house but that guy is getting close!"
A few minutes later...
"He's so mad and I hate him!"
Well, so much for that guideline...
"and we're walking, we're walking...."
I catch myself saying that sooo often
One of my favourite movies! Severly underrated! Also, all the cameos are due to the fact that Ivan Reitman is the director and they were all in his previous movies (Beethoven, Kindergarten Cop).
And yes, that sandwich looks AMAZING.
The music of this movie is SOOO comforting.
Though it is out of my normal genre of movies, I watched this back in the 90s, and though it almost never came up since, I've never forgotten it. When I saw you were reacting to it. Must See!
This movie is absolutely adorable. Dave is one of my favorite movie presidents.
This was my favorite movie growing up.
I was a weird kid, but it's still a fantastic movie.
Well, that's an interesting detail I had forgotten - Nance is sworn in as number 45. So, the fictional former shoe salesman is president, and the real former president 45 is now literally a shoe salesman.
Here are 2 suggestions for future movies: 1. A Walk in the Clouds 2. The Sea of Trees "Dave" is a classic that I saw when it first came out. Truly a "Feel Good" movie.
Kevin Kline's married to Phoebe Cates _(Gremlins, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gremlins 2)._
As soon as this showed up in my feed I got excited. I love this movie, but more than that, I knew instantly that Cassie would love it and will have a great reaction.
I was a fan @Camden Yards that day! They filmed it prior to the regularly scheduled Orioles game. Anybody else?
Dwayne should've ha a sweater vest with a tie on at the ending scene -- CALL ME HOLLYWOOD!
I'm so happy you enjoyed Dave. There have also been viewers who have seen A Fish Called Wanda and disliked Otto so much that they didn't think Kevin Kline could play likable characters. Dave was the film frequently mentioned that could change people's minds about Kline.
Now you have to react to Soapdish and In & Out--two more fun Kevin Kline films. 😊
one of my mom's top ten movies. is my mom talking to you? youre on a roll with her favorite films.
I have loved this movie ever since it came out. To this day, whenever there is talk in the news about balancing the budget, my best friend and I turn to each other and say "they just need to call Murray and get some hoagies up in here". Problem solved.
If you love Dave as President you will love him as a teacher in a small town. Watch, "In and Out." One of the funniest movies I've seen.
It's raining here. This wholesome, funny movie takes me back to my childhood like a warm blanket. Your reaction is so sweet and it makes it even more enjoyable. Like movie theater butter on, well... popcorn. Love the channel and looking forward to 13 Days!
Kevin Kline has several films where he plays dual roles. One of them he's playing the President again in "WILD WILD WEST" while also play the role of Agent Artemis Gordon. He also has a dual role in "FIERCE CREATURES" which has the same cast as A Fish Called Wanda. I happen to think it's funnier. You should watch both!
If you remember Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws, he played a similar role in a delightful comedy named "Moon Over Parador." It's outside the US, Dreyfuss is an actor who gets kinda forced into the role. Worth a watch.
It's Parador.
@@liduck52 Tell my phone. I didn't even notice. I have this spell-incorrect. Will fix it. Thanks..
@@tvdroid22 Dave was a better movie. Dave wants to use the ruse to make things better. Dreyfuss on the other hand just wanted to go home.
@@liduck52 And I liked them both. Does that make me conflicted? Seriously, I didn't realize we were discussing morality here. I thought they were MOVIES.
Frank Langella was so funny in this movie. A pity he didn't have a mustache he could twist the ends of, lol! A truly great actor, too. His 1979 "Dracula" is among the best; he was young, handsome, and glamorous, you might like it, Cassie. "Dave" is a lot of fun, though while watching it, one wishes that there were more Daves than Bobs in Washington. (ANY Daves, actually.)
I've seen this movie more than a few times over the years, but I was pretty young when it first came out, and clearly it's been a while, cause I'm just now realizing that was Laura Linney playing the secretary, wow. I smiled big when I saw this thumbnail, cause I knew this would be a fun and sweet movie for you Cassie, and watching you enjoy a feel good movie makes me feel good. Catch you on the next one 😉
Yes This was a good movie. Might I recommend a few others around the same release time? Sneakers with Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley (The actor who played the VP in Dave), Searching for Bobby Fischer, Defending Your Life.
One of my all time favourite movies.Dave for President!
This has always been one of my favourite movies, even though I'm not a fan of Kevin Kline. He was good in this, but really the whole cast was amazing, especially Frank Langella, who played Bob Alexander.
"They don't actually do this in real life do they?"
watch:
"The Eagle Has Landed" (1976) Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, Robert Duvall
If you haven't watched "My Fellow Americans" with Jack Lemon and James Garner, you are definitely missing out! They play 2, former presidents. So funny!
Was looking for this recommendation 😊. For another Presidents week. You know Jack Lemmon as a Grumpy Old Man... 😊
13 days is AMAZING! Can’t wait for the reaction. And it’s pretty accurate with everything that was going on in the world at that moment.
One of my favourites; saw this in the cinema with my aunt in ‘93. Might’ve fueled my love for politics.
If you loved this, you should watch ‘Silverado’ with Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner. It’s a fun western.
Kevin Kline is a really versatile actor. One of my favorite films with him and Meg Ryan is French Kiss. He did such a good job, French people thought he was actually French. I would highly recommend the movie.
This is a classic already! At least in my eyes.
Out off all the president movies maybe the sweetest because you have a balance of comedy drama and love story. So well written, directed and acted. I’ve seen it so many times and I never get tired of it.
That’s when you know it will always be a hit.
love, love, love this movie...haven't seen it in a while, but so glad i got to rewatch it with you...man i wish we had people in the WH like this .....
Thank you for finally watching DAVE. I've asked plenty of times in the past for you to watch and I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a favorite of mine. Here's a list of films that you have to watch with Kevin Kline. Silverado 1985, has a HUGE cast of actors you know well from all the films you've watched previously. In & Out 1997, The Big Chill 1983, Cry Freedom 1987, Kevin's first Feature film Sophie's Choice 1982, and Grand Canyon 1991, All good films with Kevin Kline that you will also enjoy. You can watch all of these with your sister. She'll enjoy them too.
Cassie! One of my most most favorite movies from my childhood!! I always wanted to be a President like Dave Kovic when I was a kid! Great acting in this one too, so many low key major actors/actresses making appearances in this one too. Laura Linney and Bonnie Hunt are two of my favs! Great Choice!! Love your channel keep it up!
You may want to check out Only You (1994) and Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Charles Grodin who played Murray here is a great actor , he has a movie with Robert de Niro called `` Midnight Run `` one of the best comedies ever , you will love it .
This movie is based on a 1894 Btitish novel by Anthony Hope, entitled "The Prisoner of Zenda." In the novel, the imposter must impersonate a King. It was made into (drama) movie in 1937. Then there was a (comedy) remake in 1988 called "Moon Over Parador," starring Richard Dreyfus, in which he must impersonate a South American dictator. I love that movie! Dreyfus is so funny! And then came this charmer in '93.
"French Kiss" and "In and Out" - two more great comedies with Kevin Kline. Consider reacting!
Dave is the president every country deserves.
My two favorite POTUS movies are Dave starring Kevin Kline and The American President, starring Michael Douglas.
