My Fellow Americans

Unlikely political comedy about two ex-presidents of the opposite party (Jack Lemmon and James Garner) having to run for their lives because vicious killers are after them. The reason for this has something to do with a political scandal that the current president would rather blame these two guys for (and it's easier to do that when they're dead). The appeal of this film goes to the entertaining "Grumpy Old Men" formula but the dialogue is too full of vulgarities.
