It's great that you remembered Ben Stein and his famous "Beuller..Beuller". Its very appropriate that he was in this move beause before he got into acting he was a speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford.

I like French Kiss (and have wanted to rewatch) but has been unavailable to stream on any major service due to complicated ownership issues.

Okay, so "Dave" is actually one of my favorite movies of all time. I saw this twice in the theaters when it was released. I remember the audience for the first screening was SO into it. Literally every single humorous moment had people laughing. And when Dave fired Bob Alexander, there was a guy in front of me who did a fist pump and whispered, "Yes!" I can recommend a couple other comedies with Kevin Kline in them: "A Fish Called Wanda" and "French Kiss." ("French Kiss" is basically pure romantic comedy, with many of the genre's tropes, so that may or may not appeal to you.) Aside: The "conspiracy theorist" guy that was on TV, saying that the President looked different if you compare photos from before the stroke to after, was Oliver Stone. I think it was after he directed the movie "JFK" (1991) he was known as a conspiracy theorist, so that cameo was him gently poking fun at himself.
