Dave (1993)

One day I made a date with a woman whom I had met through mutual interest. She seemed funny, well read, intelligent, opinionated, argumentative, sappy, creative, etc. It went well and we began seeing one another constantly. In a short period of time, I found myself seeing a whole new group of people, going to places I hadn’t frequented before and doing stuff that I hadn’t done before. Where were my friends, my hangouts, my routines? Most has been usurped and I hadn’t even noticed. I was in a new world not of my making and had little control over what was going on. Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) knows what I mean. He’s hired to double for POTUS and due to circumstances beyond his control, one event turns into his life. It is only when Ellen Mitchell (Sigourney Weaver), the President’s somewhat estranged wife, asks who he is does he realize the depths to which the fraud has sunk. Now he needs to figure out how to extricate himself and still keep his soul intact.
