"American Dreamz"

In this slick and unsettling comedy, a dimwit U.S. president tries to boost his ratings by becoming a judge on a cheesy talent show -- complete with hidden earphone.

    stupid stereotypes

    I had planned on seeing this film (I dislike Bush and American idol and would love a parody), but halfway through, I changed my mind. Sorry, folks. It was a great idea to have an Arab as a contestant on the show, but I guess Hollywood can't handle one without mentioning the word "terrorist" in there somewhere. Can't they ever show a normal Arab or Muslim in a movie, one where he or she doesn't have a gun or has a terrorist buddy? Come on, Hollywood, it's 2006!
