“American Dreamz, dreams with a z.”

It took forever to get to the competition, and pulled probably a few too many directions. That being said, Hugh Grant + Mandy Moore as sociopaths were great, and the cast on this is actually nuts. It has not aged well in a lot of ways, and the satire is as shallow as a puddle.
