Review of American Dreamz (2006) by Mloy X — 12 Feb 2014
President Staton (Dennis Quaid): Did you know there are two kinds of Iraqistanis?
[the First Lady holds up three fingers].
President Staton(Dennis Quaid): I mean, actually, three?
Chief of Staff (Willem Dafoe): You mean Sunnis and Shi'ites and Kurds?
President Staton(Dennis Quaid): You knew about this?
This was kind of stupid. I guess if I had watched when it was a bit more significant, I would easily find the irony funny-- like the president being closely patterened after George W. Bush, Willem Dafore's character's physical similarities to VP Dick Chaney, how the singing competition was obviously a spoof of American Idol with Hugh Grant's character loosely based on Simon Cowell. Hahaha....it is all pretty tongue and cheek and cutesy... had I seen it when it first came out in 2002.
