I was actually going to order the DVD of this movie, since I'm into cheesy 90's movies, but it's now free on YouTube as of a few days ago.
Anyhow, the movie is called Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver. It was one of the early "president" movies that came out during Clinton's presidency. It depicts an absolutely shallow douche as the president. His handlers have to find a replacement double to take over the role for a time, in case of the emergency that eventually happens.
30 years ago, when it came out, it was thick with fantasy situations, which made it a thoroughly unbelieveble, and charming movie. It hits a little different today, for anons anyhow. Now it's free on a large platform. Comms? Perhaps.
Thank you for this! I saw this movie back in the day and thought it was cute/cheesy as you say. It will be interesting to watch it again with my awakened eyes.
Yes, and 30 years! Wow.
