I saw this years ago when it first came out on video and just laughed all the way through. It's a very far fetched farce where Dave Kuvic (Kevin Kline) gets roped into pretending to be the president for a few months. Sigourney Weaver shows off her comedy chops playing the angry first lady.
I love all the levels of humor, both overt and subtle. In one scene the president operates a huge mechanical arm stating loudly, "I once caught a fish THIS BIG!" After discovering the impostor the first lady lays in bed singing "the sun'll come out tomorrow" into her pillow. Frank Langella also delights with his low key megalomaniac character.
Pick up the VHS copy in Coos Bay, North Bend and Coquille. Look in Bandon for the DVD.
