Plot

A sweet-natured Temp Agency operator and amateur Presidential look-alike is recruited by the Secret Service to become a temporary stand-in for the President of the United States.

Sinekatalog’s take

A warm political fable where an ordinary lookalike ends up filling very large shoes. Its good-natured optimism is hard to resist, and the comedy comes from decency colliding with Washington habits. Predictable but genuinely likable, a comfortable pick for a cosy evening.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
