Dreams with a Z

E & K and I went to see American Dreamz last night after work. I found myself laughing at the previews—a good sign for me as I'm not a huge fan of comedies. I did want to see this one because I'd heard that not only does it parody American Idol but also our current president. I'm also a fan of Hugh Grant in general.

I'm glad I saw this in the theater, or more accurately, with other people. I laughed a lot more than I would've had I been alone. At times I thought I was watching a bad skit from SNL that was just going on too long, but there were a few moments and characters that were just damned funny. And I really liked how the competition ended.

My recommendation would be to wait for the DVD unless, like me, you need help psyching yourself up to find something funny.
