Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

This movie shows what a funny film is supposed to be like. I like this movie because of its unique way of making us laugh, their way of making the script and how everything came together to make this movie one of my favorites original films.The selection of the actors was great. Jack Lemmon play his role really well and so did James Garner. They are both great actors and they clearly show that in this movie. What I also like about the movie is that it can be a movie not only for those who like comedy but also for those who don't. This movie is really just a movie that everyone can enjoy.

I just finished watching this movie on Netflix and I really enjoyed. I started watching it because I thought it was a historical movie but I was wrong and I'm happy about it. First of all I know Dan Aykroyd from many movies including Driving Miss Daisy. And of course I know Jack Lemmon from Grumpy and Grumpier Old Men. I also know James Garner from The Ultimate Gift. These three are very great actors in their own way and this movie was perfect for all three. But to me it did get a little confusing right around the middle but when the ending happened it cleared it all up. I suggest if your looking for a movie to watch but don't know which, go to Netflix and watch My Fellow Americans!

Political comedies can be notoriously difficult to comprehend and/or stomach at the best of times, but this is a gem. Lemmon and Garner play it strictly for laughs, and hit the target on almost every occasion.The script may not be particularly subtle, and there is a propensity for cheap laughs with mildly foul language (save one utterance of an F word) - but there are some big big belly laughs to be had, not just in the witty script but also some nicely staged slapstick moments.A woeful bit of CGI when our two heroes are supposed to be on horseback is the only black mark against the production values - the pace is slick, the writing witty and inventive, the punchlines come thick and fast - and there's hardly a moment that comes anywhere near giving you 'the red ass'! Rent/buy and enjoy!

Barely entertaining, extremely thin, predictable "comedy" with occasional heartstring pulls thrown in inexplicably. Everybody learns something valuable, good guys are good, bad guys are bad, and the ending is exactly what you'd expect.Jack Lemmon is decent in his role. Dan Ackroyd plays The Dan Ackroyd character, this time with an occasionally shifting Southern accent. James Garner was best cast and did the most with his character. His comedic timing was spot-on, particularly when one considers the weak material he worked with.I normally don't note special effects because I don't really care about them, but there's a scene with characters on horseback that is so unbelievably bad in execution that it might as well have been puppets. The bloopers on the DVD are worth watching, if only to get a sense of what it must be like to work with Lemmon and Garner. I found Garner's ability to maintain character impressive! But this is not a picture I need to see again.
