Using talent of this order on a script this weak, along with merely decorative appearances by the likes of Lauren Bacall and Wilford Brimley, amounts to the Hollywood equivalent of government waste.

As political satire, My Fellow Americans makes a poor candidate.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Yes, it's Grumpy Old Presidents, in which most of the comedy comes from the supposed shock of hearing two senior citizens cursing at each other in terms Beavis and Butt-head would find inelegant.
Dave Kehr, New York Daily News

I'd cheerfully vote the writers, director and producers of My Fellow Americans out of office.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

The movie suggests we get the government we deserve, but do we really deserve this movie?
