Woulda been better with Matthau
11 January 2023
Very uneven comedy/action conspiracy drama. Sometimes they're being hunted and almost murdered, other times stealing cars and spinning out in comedic hilarity. I think it would have been better with Walter Matthau.

Good to see Jack Lemmon again, but not much for him to do as he plays a cheap version of HW Bush/Reagan matched up against Maverick's Clinton/LoverBoy.

The film can't quite decide if it's a comedy or a international spy thriller. The cast is much more apt for comedy. The real fun is when Lemmon and Garner are insulting eachother, really insulting the Presidents they are portraying. Slightly satircal, but not really.

Hadn't seen it till now, and not really improved by seeing.
