American Dreamz is a 2006 comedy/parody film that satirizes both American politics and popular entertainment.
Director/producer/writer Paul Weitz has stated that the movie is meant to satirize both the TV show American Idol and the Bush Administration. Reviews were lukewarm and business was disappointing.
The roman à clef movie boasts characters who are parody versions of President George W. Bush, American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, Vice President Dick Cheney, and television personality Simon Cowell.

“Greece is a sort of American vassal; the Netherlands is the country of American bases that grow like tulip bulbs; Cuba is the main sugar plantation of the American monopolies; Turkey is prepared to kow-tow before any United States pro-consul and Canada is the boring second fiddle in the American symphony.”
—Andrei Andreyevich Gromyko (1909–1989)
