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!

Starts funny but there are too many dirty words to enjoy. James Gardner and Jack Lemmon hate each other in this movie and gradually move on but in the process they refer to each other in terms like "penis", "d__khead" "sh__t" "ass" it is just to vulgar. James Gardner is a former President as well as Jack Lemmom. James Gardner is a Democrat and Jack Lemmon is a Republican. James Gardner makes a deal with top Democrats to frame Jack Lemmon. Gardner thinks he will get party support to run as President again if he helps out in this frame up.Both end up being kidnapped and their life in danger.These guys are great actors and in their older years not bad. Jack Lemmon sounds very similar to Ronald Reagan when he speaks. What a waste of talent.

A light-hearted,sprightly and limpid,if conventional and linear,flick,made by handicraftsmen.It comes in handy."-When you dance with a panda,who leads?""-Do I have a choice?/-No./-Then,it's OK.""-Get out of the chopper!/-The crops?"Two petulant ex-presidents,Kramer (Lemmon,with his wry smile and cunning look ) and the charmer Douglas,are chased through the USA by the secret services.Lemmon's role as "Kramer",as the other roles,is conventional and ready made.The cast is good (Garner, Mrs. Sela Ward) .The photography is fine.The humor is sometimes petty and flatulent,but its delivery is De luxe."My Fellow Americans" makes game of the political fauna.The vice-president is a moron.It's not a great comedy,but it has a delighting,funny,light, savory, tasteful quality, something sympathetic, charming, sprightly, flavored, fluid, that makes it so highly enjoyable.We know the movie is made in the mid-'90s.Why?The "Macarena" is played nearly everywhere.
