American Dreamz | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Both delights and contrivances combine to provide a bombshell final reel that is at least a dozen shades darker than anyone would expect.

Based on the material reality gave the writers of this film to work with, it should've been f---ing hilarious, right? Not so much.

Don't be offended, none of this really means anything, it's just a goof about a lot of dumb stuff going down around us.

The overriding problem here is that Weitz doesn't have much to say about his subject, other than that television, politics and terrorism are all part of show business.

Still, if American Dreamz doesn't quite come together, it's more rewarding than lots of films that do. Like an episode of The Simpsons directed by Robert Altman, it's a smart, cynical sprawl.
