Thus, we get an outrageous third act suggesting that people will always line up for the next showing without taking time to digest the last one. America's appetite for shallow, thoughtless entertainment is endless. True enough. But Weitz gives us no reason not to want to chow down. Instead, American Dreamz turns out to be just another helping of empty calories from the pop culture smorgasbord. And not a very tasty one, at that. (pluggedin.com)

As a political statement, American Dreamz is overly didactic and liberal in a read-too-many-blogs sort of way.

Satire about as subtle as using a sledgehammer to stroke a baby, and this fact will probably annoy the many. But I don't know. Weitz seems to have such a relentless hatred for talent shows as well as American pop culture, that I cannot help thinking that in another life, we would have been the best of friends.

This movie had the potential to be a good satire but it falls flat on its execution. The script really falls apart near the end and the characters are very one dimensional.
