Overview
The new season of “American Dreamz,” the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country’s attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County. Recently awakened President Staton even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.

Viewing Notes
Recently checked out Leonard Maltin’s 151 Best Movies You’ve Never Seenbook and started noted the films I haven’t seen. One was the Paul Weitz film American Dreamz (2006), which is a satire of American Idol. Great cast and good intentions but not quite the homerun I was expected based on Maltin’s glowing review. But I will watch anything with Willem Dafoe and almost anything with Dennis Quaid. Wish this one was more memorable.
