 Poor image compression November 29, 2008
We purchased this disc containing Dave and The American President. We love both movies. But the authors compressed the content too far making the disc and the picture comes out blocky showing too many compression artifacts. I recommend buying the titles separately.
 Presidential film double feature June 4, 2008
I bought this DVD of both films because I enjoyed the drama, trials and consquences in them, and I'm glad that they got together in this DVD so I can continue watching them one at a time and enjoy even more! I'm also glad capitions and subtitles are permitted in it since I'm a Deaf person!
 Two Presidents for the Price of One May 4, 2008
"American President" and "Dave" are both fun and romantic movies. What a deal getting two movies for the price of one. I agree that letterbox format on the "American President" is a little disappointing. Still a great deal!
All About Presidents! May 3, 2008
These are both very good movies and to find them combined was really perfect! An excellent purchase, and excellent shipping.
Great Pairing Of Movies April 26, 2008
So often the combination DVDs have only one movie that is worthwhile, and the other movie or movies are just thrown in with no consideration of their quality. This is especially noticeable with sequels.
In the case of the the American President and Dave combination, each of these movies stands alone as a classic for the future. Together, they are ideal for any collector.
Each of these movies has comedy and romance that is well written and well acted. Yes, they have one other thing in common. One of the major characters is serving as a fictional President of the United States. However, neither of these stories is just a rip off of the other or a rewrite of the same story.
The American President looks at the life of a widow and father, who just happens to be the man in the White House. The politics of re-election, while the world watches him fall in love is the subject. Michael Douglas is a very believeable President, and Annette Bening is a somewhat less talented love interest.
On the other hand, Dave tells of a Presidental look-alike who finds himself suddenly playing the role 'for real'. Again, the world watches, while the main character falls in love with the real First Lady. The great comedian, Kevin Kline, is the perfect common man's version of the President; and Sigourney Weaver plays the part of First Lady to perfection.
