Today we are talking about the 1996 Peter Segal film My Fellow Americans starring Jack Lemmon, James Garner and Dan Ackroyd. The film pairs two of Hollywood’s legends Garner and Lemmon as former presidents and rivals who have to join forces to expose the current president’s corruption.
Today we are talking about the 2004 film starring Gene Hackman, Ray Romano, Marcia Gay Harden, Maura Tierney. When Gene Hackman as the former president returns to his vacation home in the quaint eastern town and is approached to be the mayor. Seeing it as an opportunity to keep his ex-wife away from taking half of his home he decides to run.
Bert Langdon: “We’ll find dirt. Even if we have to make it up.”
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
• The male gaze of Gene Hackman to Maura Tierney
• Ray Romano, the clueless male romantically
• Bruce the Moose
• Baby Fred Savage
• “The Eagle”
• Love triangle
• A golf game where the dame is the prize (come on!)
Next week’s film is My Fellow Americans

Today we are sharing the 1993 film, DAVE about a man who looks like the president so he momentarily stands in for him while he recovers from a stroke. This star studded film illustrates the idealism of what we expect from our administration.
Today we are kicking off this month of political movies with a romantic comedy starring Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron. Theron plays the Secretary of State who is running for President and hires childhood chum played by Seth Rogan as her speech writer. And the romantic comedy hijinks occur.
