My Fellow Americans
A Comedy about Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of two Ex-Presidents.
They used to run the country, now they're running for their lives! Two former Presidents are framed in a scandal by the current President (Dan Aykroyd) and are pursued by armed agents. The two squabbling political foes plunge into a desperate and delightfully frantic search for the evidence that will establish their innocence. As they scramble through the real America, they get an unexpected crash course in how their policies affected the citizens.

My Fellow Americans is a must-see film. This is a fine example of what a fantastic cast can do with a good script. The cast reads like a who's who of comedy from top to bottom - the plot is not predictable, which is unusual for a comedy. And in true Hitchcock fashion, there is enough suspense to add even more punch to the comedy.
Jack Lemmon & James Garner are bitter enemies forced to work together against an unknown conspiracy. They're just like Lemmon and Matthau used to be - great chemistry. Everett McGill shines as the villain, they guy we love to hate, and we find out later that he's just the 2nd in command to the REAL bad guy.Great Partnership - Gina1
This movie is hilarious and entertaining - I love James Garner in serious roles but this movie shows what a great comedy actor he is as well. Jack Lemmon is great as usual, its funny to watch him without Walter Matthau as the antagonist. The bloopers are definitely worth watching.Garner and Lemmon Make A Great Team - Radio_Jane
As much as I love the chemistry between jack Lemmon and Walter Mathau, I am so glad that Lemmon and Garner ended up making this film. They are terrific together, gruff and acid tongued. The dialogue in this little gem is priceless. It is a really ridiculous story, very far fetched, but it is so funny that I just didn't care. Great for a laugh any day.
