American Dreamz 2006 Directed by Paul Weitz

Imagine a country where more people vote for a pop idol than they do for their next President.

The new season of "American Dreamz," the wildly popular television singing contest, has captured the country's attention, as the competition looks to be between a young Midwestern gal and a showtunes-loving young man from Orange County. Recently awakened President Staton even wants in on the craze, as he signs up for the potential explosive season finale.
