American Dreamz (2006) 7/10

Starring : Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore, Marcia Gay Harden, Chris Klein, Wilem Dafoe, Jennifer Coolidge
Director : Paul Weitz
Running Time : 103 mins

Martin Tweed (Grant), host of popular reality music show American Dreamz, is asked to accept President Staton (Quaid) as guest judge on the final of the show, but the rumours of the President being there spread to terrorist groups who send in one of their men to infiltrate the show and kill the president.

This is an enjoyable enough romp, but is a little too contrived and knowing for its own good. Grant and Quaid are entertaining enough in their lead roles, and Dafoe's bald-wig is worth watching on its own, but the movie falls short of being the political satire it so desperately tries to be.
