Dave Ratings & Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
When someone asks me to name the best film directed by Ivan Reitman, I immediately respond with 1993's political comedy Dave.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
Layering this sweet comedic story with some sharp, editorial barbs, screenwriter Gary Ross has fashioned an engaging, brainy comedy.
Newsweek
David Ansen
It's the spritely comic timing of the fine Hollywood ensemble that keeps Dave percolating. This affable, well-built comedy is Reitman's best since Ghostbusters.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A genial, expertly played political comedy proves that the spirit of Mr. Smith still lives.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
It's impossible to say whether Dave will play as wonderfully over the decades as it does right now, but this smooth-as-silk comedy could not be more timely, or connect more hopefully with our current national consciousness.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
While it's sloppy and draggy in parts, Kevin Kline, in the title role, delivers an ingratiating comedic performance.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Kline is so polished and resourceful that he can glide his way through even the creakiest bits and make them seem fresh.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though replete with amusing situations and clever lines, its strongest suit is the delicately pitched comic performances of its actors, most especially star Kevin Kline.
The New Yorker
Terrence Rafferty
After the promisingly nasty beginning, the filmmakers settle into a sort of campaign mode, lulling and flattering the audience with a fairy-tale vision of the common man's victory over the Washington establishment.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
Dave has been directed by Ivan Reitman in a refreshingly restrained fashion -- there are plenty of quiet passages, rare for American movies these days -- which compliments Kevin Kline's wonderful work as well.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
It's a beautifully proportioned, wonderfully complete movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
For all its modest charm, Dave is a true throwback to the Capra days, a political comedy just cockeyed enough to triumph over cynicism.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
An overall mood of sweetness may help one to forgive the archaic and childish aspects of the would-be analysis, which splits everyone between angels and devils.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
In spite of this sogginess, and despite a self-congratulatory, do-gooder streak that the film discovers within Dave, this comedy remains bright and buoyant much of the way through.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Charming comedy.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
[Mixes] comedy and corn with surprising savvy.
Variety
Brian Lowry
A delightful, buoyant new take on an old theme.
Austin Chronicle
Louis Black
A charming political comedy.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Offers feel-good guffaws.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Will hit the warm, gushy spot for a lot of people.
