I received this movie in good time and it has always been a favorite of mine.Movie Review: Subtitles on DVD
Summary: 1 Stars
I was wondering if anyone who purchased this DVD encountered a problem with subtitles and inability to select to play the special features indicated on the back of the DVD box.
The DVD I received displays subtitles in English (the menu setup on the Samsung DVD player that is able to be displayed when I stop the DVD from playing also allows selecting subtitles in numerous other languages); the language of the DVD itself is in English. However, I am unable to turn off the subtitles. Furthermore, on the back of the DVD package, there is information about playing special features such as Production Notes, Theatrical Trailers, etc. Yet, when the DVD begins after loading, there is no menu option to select to play these special features. The movie itself just begins to play.
I'm wondering if this is the DVD itself or something I am (not) doing with my Samsung DVD player. Thanks.
Movie Review: We're walking...
Summary: 5 Stars
Dave, the character played by Kevin Kline as the stand-in president, is the perfect opposite of what we actually have in most politicians. Dave is authentic, not overly concerned with image, and is the classic unsophisticated everyman.
The movie is both funny and serious, as it portrays the misadventures of Dave as he is kidnapped by the Secret Service to take the place of the actual president, who has been stricken with a stroke.
Does politics intrude on the movie? Yes, if you're looking for it. Dave is, after all, portrayed as kind of a bleeding heart liberal, but in the nicest possible way: he genuinely cares about people; there doesn't appear to be a scheming, back-stabbing bone in his body.
While Dave, the movie, was released 16 years ago, it still rings true and will be, and should be, considered a classic movie about what is good about America and Americans.
Summary of Dave [VHS]
A heartwarming story of mistaken identity and idealism, director Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters) takes on the political establishment in this fresh, funny comedy. Kevin Kline (Sophie's Choice, A Fish Called Wanda) plays Dave Kovic, a sweet man with a big heart running an employment agency. Dave happens to be a dead ringer for the current president of the United States, and he hires himself out as an impersonator for parties and mall openings. When the real president has a stroke while in bed with an aide, his ambitious chief of staff (Frank Langella) decides to hold onto the White House by appealing to Dave's sense of patriotism and having him pose as the president. Soon, however, Dave is running the country in a way contrary to what the chief of staff would like, even as he finds himself falling in love with the unsuspecting first lady (Sigourney Weaver). The movie's unbridled optimism is its best asset, and it makes this a pleasant comedy worth seeing. --Robert LaneAssumed Identity Video
