american dreamz

It was a good Sunday. This morning a friend and I went to get pedicures (the rain has finally stopped so I can finally wear open-toed shoes! Yay!) and then we saw American Dreamz. :D I *really* enjoyed the movie and totally recommend it.

A couple of random things (mostly non-spoilery)...

-- Mandy Moore and Hugh Grant had great chemistry. They played off of each other really well as contestant and judge.
-- Maybe it's just me but Hugh Grant has aged. It took me by surprise when the camera closed in on his face at the very beginning of the movie.
-- I adore Mandy Moore. She made Sally Kendoo a truly multi-faceted character. She could have been a completely over-the-top character but Mandy turned her someone who is equal parts manipulator and sickeningly-sweet hometown girl. She rocked.
-- I also loved Iqbal (played by Tony Yalda). He was freaking hilarious.
-- The supporting cast was great. Lots of familiar faces -- Shoreh Aghdashloo, John Cho, Adam Busch, Chris Klein...
-- Willem Dafoe looked so much like Dick Cheney. Heh. And Dennis Quaid's impersonation of President Bush is pretty funny.
-- Also, best song ever... American Dreamz with a Z. BWAH.

Go see it!

Next week Rob is going to be in Las Vegas so I may have to rope another friend into watching Stick It. Heh.
