Het is Sally's droom om een popster te worden en om mee te doen in de talentenjacht American Dreamz. Om dit voor elkaar te krijgen papt ze aan met de presentator van de show. Intussen komt een Arabische jongen met zijn familie naar de VS en wordt per ongeluk een kandidaat in de show. Daar bovenop is de president van de VS depressief, maar de vicepresident heeft een idee voor een live show. (United International Pictures)

"We saw the movie American Dreamz and we had no other option". If in the future the terrorists who just bombed downtown Washington were to make such an argument, I might even understand and perhaps even forgive them. I give this unfunny piece of crap a star only for Dennis Quaid, who is obviously (and very successfully) making fun of George Bush.

There are moments when I expect very little from a film, and it's downright tragic when I get even less. American Dreamz is precisely such a movie. I have absolutely no idea how so many familiar names ended up here. Well, that's a lie, I know. The screenplay was one big mess from start to finish, filled with humor I didn't feel like laughing at, and both the "story" and characters were completely forgettable. It was the kind of film that would have been better off staying within the borders of the United States because that's where it might find more fans. One star mainly for the masks, because Willem Dafoe :-) / Lesson learned: Even famous actors can't do much without a quality script.
