Will Appeal To: Fans of American Idol?
A singing competition where more people vote for the idol than the American President. A British razor tongued judge. Wannabes. How much does American Dreamz remind you of American Idol? (Director claims that he didn't watch American Idol.)
American Dreamz is more than it. It includes an American president who doesn’t seem to know anything at all, and makes racist comments. Hmm…
This is a funny satire piece, especially when you are a regular American Idol watcher like me. I wished there was a Paula Abdul in the show, but some of the contestants were quite crowd pleasers.
Mandy Moore does a decent job playing a girl who wants to make her dreams big. Although it was released straight to DVD, it is funnier than some of the trash out there. Perhaps Hugh Grant doesn’t have that much star power anymore.
American Dreamz - Enjoyable but very forgettable
