Rated: PG-13
Released: 2006
Starring: Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore
Format Watched in: MAX Go
Sometimes satire is so vague that people can't really see it and as a result the audience is left thinking the whole movie is stupid and miss the point the filmmakers were trying to make. That isn't American Dreamz. No instead this movie lays everything on so thick it's impossible to see anything but the point. The cast was good, I mean Quaid looks very presidential and they cast Mandy Moore as a singer which is kinda perfect. The only real complaint I have with the cast is they cast Hugh Grant as their Simon Cowell character when he is usually best suited to be affable and endearing. If you like the oddball dark satire you will find this movie enjoyable. It has it's flaws and at times is too silly for it's own good but in the end it worked for me.
Rating: C+
