This is a review for a film called Dave. I’ve brought Dave up to a few people and they knew exactly what I was talking about, which I almost can’t believe. As a cinephile and fan of films, I legitimately did not know this film existed. I like Kevin Kline and think he’s great in everything he does (yes, even Wild Wild West) - but this film escaped me. My coworker lent me Dave after hearing of my love for Kline and I finally had a chance to sit down and watch it...and oh boy, it sure is a movie!
Dave is one of those inconsequential early 90′s films where there are no real problems or ramifications. No one is really at risk in the film and the plot trucks along with a plucky soundtrack to reassure you that everything will be okay. It goes through great lengths to reiterate just how good of a person Dave is and how he’s here to make everything better and in the end, he kind of does and takes out many of the “bad people” along the way. It’s fluff, and that isn’t bad once in a while. I appreciated how timely my viewing of the film was (where someone in the office actually manages to do good), but that’s something I won’t go into too much detail with.
There’s honestly not too much to talk about in terms of Dave. It’s totally fine!
