Not Good Enough
'' American Dreamer '' had some material to work with, alas, it failed to do so.
The story had some heartwarming vibes when it came to the relationship between the new owner and the old lady.
It also had some comedy moments, some black comedy, some leaning more towards the sexual humour, which messed with the mood of the story though.
The pace of the story was also messy, thus, it ruined the enjoyament more often than not.
The perforamnces were good, though, by everyone in the cast and, especially, the leads.
So, overall, three out of ten for '' American Dreamer ''. It had potential but wasted them. - APayingCritic - 12 June 2022
Extreme Dream
Peter Dinklage as a professor of economics who has personally failed in that department finds a way to achieve the America Dream. He lives between a real and imaginary world that pushes him to a very interesting deal with the formidable Shirley MacLaine. Well written with a great cast. Shirley MacLaine still has it, Peter Dinklage puts it all in the table, the beautiful Kimberly Quinn plays nails it was a savvy attorney with a hilarious scene, and Matt Dillon shines as the narcissistic realtor. Beautiful ending to this equally sad and hilarious story. Highly recommend this film!!!
