American Idol Badly Satirized

American Dreamz attempts to satirize American Idol, our current president and terrorism. I say attempts because it never quite gets there. Paul Weitz doesn't have the guts to go in for the kill in this movie. The film plays serious, but tries to get in a joke every once in a while. These jokes fall flat. None more so than Seth Meyers as a skeezy and scheming agent. It wasn't even two hours long and I found myself falling asleep in this film.
