American Dreamz Review

American 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!

HOW TO WIN A FREE PRIZE PACK :: To win an American Dreamz poster, t-shirt (it says "Are You Sure That’s Dignified?" on it ) and hat, simply leave a comment in this entry with a valid email address (not published) by April 24 @ 7PM EST and a winner will be chosen at random.  Good luck!

UPDATE :: Congratulations, Katie!  Your prize pack is on the way!

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.

this oughta be good. o/

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… :)

One of the many films that I MUST see [ ...after APs :( ]

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 :)

I saw this movie today. It was funny. I agree with you Jared that Omar’s cousin is hilarious in the movie…

ugh…bad movie, stupid ending, so glad i saw it for free…..

I just saw it today too…I thought it was hillarious!! Mandy was great and so were the jokes on the Bush administration. hehe
