Dave	comment	Dave is a 1993 comedy film produced and directed by Ivan Reitman. More or less, it's The Prisoner of Zenda updated to the modern-day United States.The President of the United States is Bill Mitchell (Kevin Kline), a corrupt career politician who works closely with his equally corrupt advisors, especially Chief of Staff Bob Alexander (Frank Langella). Meanwhile, Dave Kovic (also Kline) is a Nice Guy Everyman who happens to look exactly like the President, and has a side job impersonating him at parties. One day, Dave is hired as a Body Double to cover up one of Mitchell's extramarital affairs. But when the President suffers a debilitating stroke that same evening, Bob Alexander hatches an outrageous plot: push Dave to continue the impersonation until Alexander can get himself named Vice President. Alexander assumes this naÃ¯ve outsider will be easy to control, but then Dave starts Becoming the Mask...The rest of the main cast includes Sigourney Weaver as the socially conscious First Lady; Kevin Dunn as another advisor in on the conspiracy, albeit reluctantly; and Ving Rhames as a Secret Service agent. A young Laura Linney plays the Sexy Secretary that the real Mitchell was bonking when he had his stroke.

It works... to the point where Dave takes the power right out of his hands, because there's no way to claim he's not the President without implicating himself. It's indicated this is why Bob can't tell anyone the "President" who had a stroke in the middle of Congress was a fake; as bad as it is to go to jail over his frauds, revealing he was behind an impostor President could well have Bob tried for treason. And Dave is quick to note that Bob has a lot more to lose from such a revelation than he does.

Befitting his role as a stoic bodyguard, he's initially cold to Dave and doesn't acknowledge him most of the time, only giving him simple answers to his questions when he does. Over time however as Dave continually makes efforts to converse with him, he starts warming up to him more. By the end of the movie, he tells Dave (in a Call-Back to an earlier conversation) that "I would've taken a bullet for you." Ellen Mitchell too. She's not a bad person and even cares deeply about helping the underprivileged but it's clear a prolonged and deeply unhappy marriage to a man who is extremely cold to her have left her very cynical. She becomes considerably happier with Dave once she finds out the truth.

Once he actually does show up on screen, though, it becomes clear that he's one of the few decent members of the Mitchell administration. This becomes a vital point, as it leads to Dave deciding to swap places again, reveal that the president is incapacitated, and let Nance take his rightful place as Acting President.

Dave / int_8391b1c7	type	Artistic License â€“ Law
Dave / int_8391b1c7	comment	Artistic License â€“ Law: Dave saves a homeless shelter and many others by getting each government department to move money out of useless projects. While this is a good idea in theory, government departments can't simply cancel projects and give the freed-up money to another one. Their budgets are allocated down to the project by an act of Congress at the beginning of each fiscal year. They're legally required to use the money for its intended purpose, no matter how unproductive or ridiculous certain projects may seem. Spending government money in a different project for which it was appropriated is in fact a crime. That's why the appropriations process is complicated, as there are levels about which level of detail the appropriations need to be at. Having the detail be too general allows the governmental managers to move money around in all kind of unintended ways (such as into their own pockets). Having appropriations be too detailed ends up limiting necessary flexibility.

When the impersonator himself, his new squeeze the First Lady and a Secret Service agent do the same thing it's portrayed as heartwarming and principled. It does make some difference that, unlike Alexander, Dave was willing to end the deception once he found out the VP wasn't mentally ill so it was no longer necessary for him to continue. It also helps that Dave's agenda, unlike Alexander's, was actually based around helping people and not just lining his own pockets.

Thus, extrapolating fictional presidencies from the time when the film was made, the story takes place in the year 2000 at the earliest and 2016 at the latest. Nevertheless, the political cameos firmly place it in The '90s. Incidentally, Barack Obama is the real forty-fourth president, while Donald Trump is the real forty-fifth president.

It works because the President (whom he had been impersonating) had suffered a stroke earlier in the movie, and this was used as a means of swapping Dave with the real coma-bound President after he chose to come clean about the President's illegal activities. And of course, the real President really is in a coma after a severe stroke, so the medicine will match up, though there might be some Artistic License â€“ Medicine related to how long it's been since the stroke actually happened, and how long Mitchell has been lying in bed.

In reality, as an individual in a small private practice Murray would likely focus on doing tax returns, financial statement preparation, and/or general accounting for small businesses or individuals. Accounting for Federal governmental entities is a specialized and complicated sub-division of accounting that it's extremely unlikely Murray would have any experience with it, especially by his perplexed reaction to seeing the current accounting set-up as it exists. While he would be assumed to be knowledgeable about GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) for private entities as established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), it's less likely he would be very up to speed on standards set by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), and extremely unlikely to be caught up with the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board, which was formed just a few years before the release of this film.
