Last Tuesday night I had the great pleasure of seeing a preview screening of "American Dreamz" (with Mandy Moore, Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, etc.). It. Was. HYSTERICAL. The movie had a lot more political commentary than I would have guessed from the previews. Dennis Quaid was very funny as the president; I forget the name of the woman who played his wife, but the two were clearly a spoof of George W. and Laura Bush. Several funny "sidekick" characters appeared in the movie, the best of which was the character Omar's cousin (whose name I never caught); he was SO funny as the (somewhat) typical flamboyant gay teenager. I don't want to spoil too much of the movie, as much of my enjoyment came from all the things I was surprised by, but I would HIGHLY reccomend that everyone go see it. :)

Ooh, I'm so glad you liked it! I've been really excited about this movie for awhile; it looks incredibly funny and I can't wait to see it!

I believe Marcia Gay Harden plays the First Lady.

I'm looking forward to this as well. When does it open again? Doesn't look like it's this coming week. Next week, maybe??
