Just saw AMERICAN DREAMZ today
Highly recommended viewing for all DUers. No spoilers here - get out there and see it yourselves!

2. I lost interest in seeing it

Dennis Quaid said he based his presidential spoof partly on Clinton, and not just Bush.

Plus, he admitted he voted for Bush in 2004, saying that "America gets the president it deserves."

I am not sold on it being good satire, since reality trumps satire these days anyway. :-)

3. I saw it today - one small spoiler
and I didn't see any Clinton in Quaid's portrayal - and the First Lady is all Pickles.

Not the greatest movie ever made and I'd suggest going to it during discount price hours.... There weren't many people at the showing my niece and I went to (though it really was too nice out to be at the movies) and most the people there didn't seem to find it quite as amusing as we did - except for one couple sitting behind us who laughed just as hard. I think there are a few things you have to be up on to find it funny. - Like seeing a Bush like president reading the "London Guardian".

5. Other than John Cho and Jennifer Coolidge, it has an all lame actor cast
Dennis Quaid, Hugh Grant, Mandy Moore, and Chris Klein are all incredibly annoying, unfunny people.

8. Have they started showing trailors yet for Superman Returns?
I really want to see that one. Although I kinda feel sorry for Brandon Ruth theres no way to compare him to the late great Christopher Reeve.
