Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Martin Tweed is the host of a talent show called American Dreamz, and whilst he despises each new season, it's a hit with the ratings. Tweed decides it's time for a new and interesting batch of contestants, and sends out his team to find the weirdest bunch possible. Whilst all this is happening, the President of the United States is becoming more and more depressed, and relies on his Chief of Staff to talk him through everything, even into appearing as a judge on the TV show. Perfect news for the terrorists who use the talent contest as a way to reach the President. Written by FilmFanUK |
| Plot Keywords | |
| Taglines | Imagine a country where the President never reads the newspaper, where the government goes to war for all the wrong reasons, and more people vote for a pop idol than their next President. See more » |

| Quotes |
Omer:
One and two, three and four, five, hey! Iqbal Riza: What are you doing? Omer: Nothing, nothing, I'm just rehearsing some dance steps. Iqbal Riza: Oh... Omer: Look Iqbal, I am so sorry... Iqbal Riza: Stop!I don't want your pity. Does it look like I need pity? Omer: No, no, no you have far too much dignity. Iqbal Riza: If these people know nothing about talent there's not much I can do about it, is there? So let's see it. Let's see your dance steps. Omer: Oh... alright. One and two, three and four. [Iqbal waves his hand up to Omer for him to stop] Omer: What? Iqbal Riza: Oh there's no way you're going to win this thing. Omer: I know, I fear as much. [Iqbal sighs and looks him up and down] [Iqbal takes Omer to his stage] Iqbal Riza: Get up there, up on the stage. Omer: Are you sure? Iqbal Riza: Do it! Before I change my mind. Okay, now this is just a bass track. It's good for practicing moves too. [Iqbal turns on the stereo] Omer: Mmm. I don't like this kind of music. Iqbal Riza: It's just a bass track! It's just for rehearsal! Omer: Okay... Iqbal Riza: [Iqbal sighs] Now one problem you have is you move like a reanimated corpse in a zombie movie. Not good, you need to loosen up. Okay, come on, let's go, free form jazz dancing. Right now, immediately. Omer: Iqbal, why are you helping me? I destroyed your dream. Iqbal Riza: Yeah, you did, but that was yesterday. Today I turned a page in a new chapter in my life. I'm not sure being a performer was ever what I was really meant for. I'm more of a behind the scenes player, a puppeteer, a svengali if you will. As of today I'm your manager. See more » |
