James Garner has become one of my all time favorite actors ever since I saw him in "Maverick" (the movie).
His ironic portrayal of selfish and arrogant ex-prez is the only thing that lifts this movie above average.
As for other actors, I never liked Lemmon, Aykroyd or that guy from Tween Peaks. They are all pretty annoying, but that works well for them in this movie.
I never cared much for the silly plot as I don't care about american politics, I just waited till the run starts. The pursuit itself has some funny moments (immigrant sequence and gay parade sequence), but as in many Hollywood movies about government it gets rather pathetic when the ex-presidents run into a trailer family.
Nevertheless, buddy-buddy scheme works pretty well and convincing here, with annoying Lemmon and appealing Garner as involuntary buddies.
