My Fellow Americans (1996)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Great movie that really captured my attention. when the film started it was kind of boring, but then the action began. i liked the part where they got into the gay march.what i most liked about this movie was when they found this family at the picnic and they stole their car. the appeared as nothing happened and the family didn't do anything to stop them. After a while they knew that a baby was in the back seat and they had to go back. In the whole movie i was thinking that they couldn't get caught. there were just a few exceptions, for example the beginning, it began kind of boring, i would change and make a funny part for the beginning. it was a really good movie and i will recommend it. I'm voting 8 out of 10 because as i said, the beginning was not that good.

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.

What a terrific parody on the political machine and its inner workings, or is it....a parody? I never even realized that Jack Lemmon and James Garner generated such great chemistry together. John Heard's role is also knee-slapping hilarious, that's the part that made me question the analogy of the comedic to the authentic in the undertone of this story...the time frame eludes me comparatively, but I seem to recall numerous instances of grammatical as well as literal faux pas perpetrated on the publics collective ear, lol. Makes one question just how secure we really are, but I guess it boils down to an analogy of a fancy exotic culinary offering and having the ability to make it or even pronounce it, I guess you don't have to be able spell it or say it to be able enjoy it...you just eat it! Sorry I digressed but just couldn't avoid the relationship to the factual. Either way this is one very funny, enjoyable movie, I wish there was a sequel!

When this film first came out, the trailers did not interest me in the least. I actually avoided seeing it so as to avoid seeing two cool actors make asses out of themselves (in a bad way). The film was rather poorly marketed, in other words. It looked like Beavis and Butthead with two old guys (in a bad way).In other words, I'm glad this was the film shown on an Amtrak train a few years back. I think I was laughing harder than anyone else in my car. Frankly, I think a few jokes sailed over people's heads. I remember in particular that the hilarious mispronunciation of "facade" by Dan Ackroyd's clueless VP didn't merit a titter. A few people looked at me oddly when I laughed at it.This isn't brilliant film-making, mind you. It's simply a vehicle for a lot of very talented comic actors to have fun with some ripe material. It may dip into preachiness now and again, but that is always redeemed ASAP by an entertaining round of rapid-fire bickering.On an aside, I have to say that I've been in love with Lauren Bacall since I saw The Big Sleep for the first time. It was great to see her in this and even greater to see that she still has a knack for the sharply delivered one-liner. Also, for someone born in the 20s she looks amazing. You heard me right. At 82 years, Lauren Bacall is still hot. Bogie was a very lucky man.
