I actually enjoyed this movie quite a lot. It was fun to watch Jack Lemmon again. I completely agree with Roger Ebert when he says "''My Fellow Americans' is a series of cheap shots and missed opportunities, but a lot of the cheap shots are funny" and he describes the movie perfectly when he says "James Garner steps into the role usually played by Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon plays his usual grump, and 102 minutes of insult humor rolls painlessly past".
Yes, it is a typical buddy movie and yes, we have seen it all before and yes, the screenplay is rather dumb, but nevertheless the film provides for 90 minutes of very decent entertainment. Nothing more, nothing less.
