Amazon.com: Call this 'The Odd Couple Goes to the White House.' Jack Lemmon and James Garner play ex-presidents in this lousy comedy, each of them having served only one term as chief executive and each the other's lifelong enemy. The best jokes in the film are front-loaded into the first five minutes. We meet both men living life after the White House, one (Lemmon) making speeches for whoever will front his large fee, while the other (Garner) writes relevant books no one reads. Any time they show up at the same function, they insult each other like snarling schoolboys. It is pretty funny, but after a brief introduction My Fellow Americans goes downhill rapidly, becoming yet another stupid road movie traveled by characters who hate each other. (How many of these is Lemmon going to make?) The jokes get dumber and cruder, the actors embarrass themselves, and the whole enterprise becomes tedious. The DVD release contains production notes, theatrical trailer, bloopers, optional Spanish and French soundtracks, optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, and Dolby audio. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Lemmon and Garner Make a Classic Team
Though a moderate success when first released, "My Fellow Americans" (1996) has more resonance now that the Bush Administration is drawing to a close. In their only film together, Jack Lemmon and James Garner prove an inspired match with this entertaining political farce. It's pure pleasure watching these old pros work and their razor-sharp chemistry transforms a less-than-brilliant script into comic gold. Far superior to the Lemmon-Matthau "Grumpy Old Men" movies.
Rating: - amazon do you expect to sell this with your above review?
I've noticed it on a few movies now.. they have a scathing review by one of their own staff of the movie, they post it on the sales page.. and you're expecting to sell the product based on that?

I am a political junkie so I bought this movie before I even saw it and I was not disapointed. It is hilarious from beginning to end. It focuses on an unlikely friendship of two ex-presidents, one being a staunch republican, the other being a staunch democrat. It is definitely worth the purchase for anyone who enjoys comedies, as well as political comedies.
Rating: - Enjoyable politics
Take a respite from the 2008 presidential campaign and enjoy the performances of two old pros! You won't regret it!
