"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.

    Yawn

    Just what the country needz, another 3rd rate movie with 2nd rate talent masquerading smart ass as satire.

    Hollywood has well demonstrated that it does not have the intellectual depth make make truly political satire.

    Not for years anyway.

    More than anything, these films are vehicles for those with repressed frustration at things political and use these movies as outlets for all the snide one liners and rants in hopes that someone will actually take the thinly veiled message as serious commentary.

    No thanks, I'll pass on the kool-aid.
