Dave (1993)

In the heart of America's political landscape, Dave Kovic, a well-loved temp agency operator, is known more for his heartwarming dedication to finding jobs for his clients than his striking resemblance to the nation's president, Bill Mitchell. Dave's everyday life takes a dramatic turn when he's approached by the president's secret security agent, Duane Stevenson, offering him a role that's larger than life itself - impersonating the President. In the grand scheme concocted by White House Chief of Staff Bob Alexander and Communications Director Alan Reed, Dave's uncanny likeness to the president provides the perfect cover for Mitchell's extra-marital escapades. However, when Mitchell suffers a catastrophic stroke, the temporary gig becomes a permanent masquerade. Kept in the dark about the severity of the president's situation, Dave is unwittingly thrust into the highest office in the land, with Alexander and Reed pulling the strings behind the scenes. With the presidency at stake, Alexander and Reed's scheme doesn't stop at using Dave as a puppet. They plot to discredit the innocent Vice-President Gary Nance to pave their own path to power while carefully concealing their past misdeeds. However, as Dave immerses himself in the role, he begins to see beyond the charade and grasps the opportunity to effect positive change. He navigates the presidential labyrinth, learning the ropes of governance while striving to maintain his own integrity. Amidst this whirlwind of political intrigue, an unexpected complication arises. Dave finds himself irresistibly drawn towards the First Lady, Ellen Mitchell, a woman scorned by her philandering husband's indiscretions. As he grapples with his burgeoning feelings for her and his newfound power, Dave's mission evolves from impersonation to instigation. What unfolds is an engaging tale of a man caught in a web of deception and power, who dares to dream of a brighter future for his country while falling in love under the most extraordinary circumstances.

Dave is a comedy movie featuring Nina Totenberg and directed by Ivan Reitman.
