Their animosity only increases when they share Air Force One en route to a funeral. But a when the current chief executive orchestrates a scandal against Kramer,... Republican Russell Kramer and Democrat Matt Douglas, two former U.S. Presidents, have hated each other for decades. Their animosity only increases when they share Air Force One en route to a funeral. But a when the current chief executive orchestrates a scandal against Kramer, assassination attempts are aimed at BOTH men. To save their lives, the pair embark on a cross-country odyssey -- together -- to Ohio, where evidence of Kramer's innocence is located. During their trek, the hate-mates bicker (often in scatological terms) to no end. But along the way they also see the "real" America, that escaped their notice while they were in office. As a result, both men learn a little about each other, about themselves and about the country they once served. [More]

Strained and obvious political comedy that wastes some really great actors.

Garner and Lemmon's chemistry save the film.

Watch two grandmasters of comic timing snipe at each other for the length of a feature? Sure, where do I sign up?

A gang-written comedy that doesn't have a political bone in its body, or much evidence of a funny one, either.

Shameless laughs flow off the prefab assembly line with sufficient regularity to please audiences with a taste for comfortable tradition spiced with a bit of contempo naughtiness.
