Movie Review
Grade: C+
Mandy Moore is hot. I mean scorching hot. Not only does she have a decent taste
in roles ( Saved!, "Entourage"), but she is gorgeous, especially
when she plays a devious, slutty and manipulative singer trying to win a national
tournament a la "American Idol". Throw in a terrorist, an idiot President
and a sleazy television host and you've got a great package... Unfortunately
director Paul Weitz never gets everything to click.

American Dreamz, by Paul Weitz
April 30, 2006
I felt that this film was one of the low budget films. It really doesnt take alot to make fun of the president these days and saying they tried to hard to me. I liked it but i really feel that there was alot not needed.
