In this comedy, Russell P. Kramer (
Jack Lemmon) and Matt Douglas (
James Garner) are two former U.S. Presidents who sit on opposite sides of the political fence. Kramer is a stuffy Republican reluctant to part with a dollar, while Douglas is a left-leaning Democrat with an eye for the ladies. Douglas succeeded Kramer in office after a single term, while Douglas, after four years as chief executive, lost to his former running mate William Haney (
Dan Aykroyd). When the facts about a bribery scheme in Haney's administration threaten to surface and destroy his reputation, the ruthless president tries to pin the responsibility on Kramer and Douglas -- and when the ex-presidents learn the truth about Haney's dealings, Haney tries to have them killed before they can talk. Kramer and Douglas soon find themselves on the run, disguising themselves as celebrity impersonators, hiding out in the woods with a homeless family, and marching in a Gay Pride parade in an effort to stay clear of Haney's goons while they bring the truth to the people.
My Fellow Americans also features
Lauren Bacall as Kramer's long-suffering wife and
John Heard as Haney's intellectually-challenged vice president.

Its Not All the Bad
I've already seen My Fellow Americans about 40 times and to me it just gets better and better every time I watch it.
If you have an interest in adventure and government, than you'll enjoy this movie.
