Edgy MD Site Manager Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Prince-and-pauper comedy features Kevin Kline as an asshole president and the everyman-presidential imitator hired to take his place when said asshole president has a stroke.Lots of loose ends but lots of charm also. No rape scenes.
TransMonk Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Hard to believe this movie is almost 20 years old.I liked it when it came out. I haven't seen it in years. Completely unbelievable...but still a fun concept. Kevin Kline does a nice job.
Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket Guests Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Pretty good. Not poll-worthy apparently.I kinda liked the message.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I think this might have been the first movie I ever saw with my wife. (It wasn't our first date; we had been together for a while before we went to the movies.) I seem to remember it being enjoyable and cute. Haven't seen it in 18 years now.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Entertaining, gentle-spirited fantasy. Kline at his most charming.Frank Langella makes cookie-cutter bad guys really, really menacing.
Guest sharpie Guests Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Liked it when it first came out. Later watched it with my kids and found it really predictable.
dgwphotography Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I really liked this movie. Unbelievable premise, but somehow Kevin Kline makes it work. He and Sigourney Weaver have some nice chemistry together. I must admit, I still crack up at the "I once caught a fish this big" scene...I have liked every Kevin Kline movie I've seen, as long as it didn't include a huge fucking spider*.*had to include a Kevin Smith reference here
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 I remember liking it , Kevin Kline was kind of hot property back then IIRC but that went nowhere.
