One of those old people comedies that always feels a little awkward, like a visit to a relative you dislike's house.

Jack Lemmon and James Garner are hilarious in this. This is what old politicians should be like.

"Christy, take a memo, let the vice president know that the Dutch live in a country called the NetherLANDS, not the NetherREGIONS"

Though a typical Grumpy Old Men kind of comedy with light political intrigue, the interplay between Garner and Lemmon is great; they play off each other as well as Lemmon did with Walter Matthau. It's a shame they didn't do other films together, but this one is fun to watch if only to see the two.

This was a suprisingly good film. A return to the feel of the old road comedies of the 40's. Lemmon and Garner as thinly veiled Bush, Sr. and Clinton are quite good and have a very strong film chemistry.

Based on Bush Sr. & Clinton. What's ironic is that for Hurricane Katrina relief, the two actually did get team up in real life.

Odd couple wannabe ...to be sure. It's also better than Odd Couple II. It has it's moments.

Pretty hilarious, I remember watching it with my grandmother some years ago. She seemed to really find the pair of them funny. I remember a lot about this movie, and while it wasn't my typical watch, it was still very, very funny.

Not terrible as far as old people comedies go. Think of it as 75% Grumpy Old Men, 25% political thriller.

This movie is really, genuinely funny. John Heard was awesome as the Vice-President.

Jack Lemmon makes a great president but you can count the laughs on one hand.

Well, I get why I'd never heard of this before now. But it's a pretty standard comedy from the time. It could have aged a lot more poorly than it did.

I laughed more than I thought I would have.
