American Dreamz
In the world of right-now, it seems as if literally everybody wants to be famous. Thanks to the global phenomenon of reality television, literally anyone can be. From the Director of American Pie & About a Boy, Hugh Grant has never been better as the sleazy, self-centred host of the hugely popular television programme, American Dreamz. As the self-loathing Martin Tweed, Hugh Grant brings new aspiring Dreamz finalists that include Sally (Mandy Moore), a Southern belle who is sugar and spice in front of the camera and not-so-nice in real-life and Omer, a reluctant contestant with a penchant for show tunes. With the President of the United (Dennis Quaid) serving as a guest judge of the final night of the season, the stage is set for an explosive show the nation will never forget.

Sunday Afternoon Film!
I went to watch this film at the cinema and expected a lot more than was delivered. I should of thought something was unusual when there was only 4 people in this screenings. (including myself).
There was very few funnny parts, and just had a lackluster storyline. Hugh Grant plays the producer/presenter/only judge and is a mean guy (The supposed "Simon" character). To be blunt, its the worst Hugh Grant film i've ever seen. The elimination stages progress and the final 2 are Mandy Moore and an Iraqi who is being taught by his 'camp' cousin how to sing and dance. The president is a special guest judge in order to help his 'PR' after falling into isolation with books and newspapers. The Iraqi is being told by his 'brothers' back in Iraq to blow up the President on the finale.
All in all, its the sort of film you would watch if nothing else was on TV on a Sunday Afternoon after dinner. You'd fall asleep half way through and wake up not really caring what happened at the end! -

Moore keen to shed 'wallflower' image
- 08 Apr 2009
Singer/actress Mandy Moore is desperate to break away from her girl-next-door image - because she's struggling to land decent movie roles. The clean-living star is known for family-friendly films like 2007's Because I Said So and 2006's American Dreamz. She has taken a break from her acting career to focus on her music, but admits she has not starred in a movie since 2007's License to Wed because she keeps being offered the same boring roles. And Moore is calling on casting directors to give... Read more
