The story was engaging with good twists, and the actors are always fun to watch, but the political commentary was decidedly Ninteties PC and somewhat banal. PG-13 for salty language and sexual innuendo. ( )

Wonderfully funny film. While the conspiracy plot is thin and the ending contrived, the most important plot, really a subplot shows how two former presidents see what life in America is really like. Though the film is 12 years old the illegal border crossing, the gay parade (in these days of don't ask don't tell still out there), and a truly great scene in which the family who appears to be camping and giving the 2 ex presidents on the lam food and a place to sleep, reveal they became jobless under one of the former presidents and then homeless under the next. The actress makes a wonderful cameo appearance and the scene is right out of 2010. ( )
