American Dreamz movie

The new season of "American Dreamz," the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country's attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County . Recently awakened President Staton even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.

American Dreamz is a 2006 comedy film that satirizes both American politics and popular entertainment.Director Paul Weitz has stated that the movie is meant to satirize both the TV show American Idol and the George W. This starts him down a slippery slope. He begins reading obsessively, reexamining his black and white view of the world, holing up in his bedroom in his pajamas.

Frightened by the Presidents apparent nervous breakdown, his Chief of Staff (Willem Dafoe) pushes him back into the spotlight, booking him as a guest judge on the television ratings juggernaut (and the Presidents personal favorite), the weekly talent show American Dreamz, a show similar in format to the modern-day American Idol.America cant seem to get enough of American Dreamz, hosted by self-aggrandizing, self-loathing Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant), ever on the lookout for the next insta-celebrity. His latest crop of hopefuls includes Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore), a conniving steel magnolia with a devoted, dopey veteran boyfriend, and Omer (Sam Golzari).Because Omers mother died in the Middle East in an American attack, he joined a group of terrorists. He was an actor in an instruction film for terrorists, but he was too clumsy, and his interest in Western music was frowned upon. Therefore he was sent to the U.S. to await further instructions, but the leaders expected they could not use him. He moved to Southern California to live with his extended family there, including his effeminate cousin Iqbal (Tony Yalda) and the beautiful Shazzy (Noureen DeWulf).
