OlderAmerican Dreamz Review
Synopsis :: 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 young Midwestern gal Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore) and showtunes-loving young man Omer from Orange County (Sam Golzari). Recently awakened President Staton (Dennis Quaid) even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.
I had very low expectations going in to watch American Dreamz earlier this week since reviews were pretty bad. Fortunately enough, I was able to enjoy myself thanks to this hilarious pair — Sam Golzari as Omer and Tony Yalda as Omer’s flaming cousin Iqbal Riza. (Iqbal has aspirations of winning American Dreamz but in the end winds up as Omer’s manager.) American Dreamz is not Paul Weitz’s best work but hey, it still works. And on a sidenote, I can’t wait for Americanizing Shelley where Yalda will star as Happy Singh!!! American Dreamz opens in theaters nationwide TODAY!

I think that Mandy Moore is adorable, so I’ll probably end up watching this movie regardless of the reviews :)
I’ve been waiting for this movie for months already. I’m so excited! :)
i love mandy moore. she is so classy.
I love Mandy Moore. She’s so , what’s the word, fresh. I usually really enjoy the movies that get bad reviews and I’m sure I’ll like this one as well because it has a great cast.
I thought Mandy Moore was great in Saved! so I’ll probably go see this one too.
i saw a free sneak preview not expecting much. but it’s actually really funny and i couldn’t stop laughing out loud at Omer’s cousin Iqbal.
I think this looks like a good movie! I really like Mandy Moore, so I will probably go see it soon!!

I’ve watched Mandy Moore before, and not all her movies have been the greatest, but we’ll see… At least she keeps to herself and doesn’t try to be in the limelight constantly

This movie looks hilarious! I love the commerical where the Seth Meyers character calls Mandy’s white trash, and then adds "but look what its done for Britney Spears," ….classic
We had that screened at our campus last week, and it cracked me up so hard. So much funnier than I expected. My love for Dennis Quaid has been cemented. Mandy is adorable. OMAR IS THE GREATEST.
I saw it a few weeks ago. It’s hilarious!
Hugh Grant… :)

From that one picture, Sam Golzari looks pretty cute.
I have been looking forward to this movie for such a long time. The trailer looks good, hopefully the movie will not disappoint :)
