Head of State (Full Screen Edition) description
Chris Rock writes, directs, and stars in the sassy political comedy Head of State, about Mays Gilliam, a black man who's chosen by the leaders of an unspecificed party to run for president after their previous candidates die in a plan crash. Though he initially follows his handler's instructions, Gilliam soon starts handling speeches in his own brazen, outspoken way, which starts to turn the tide--which upsets the party leaders who chose him, since they expected him to lose. While Head of State doesn't quite have the razor wit that Rock wields in his stand-up routine, it has a sharper edge than just about any other political satire in recent memory. Rock bursts with charisma, and his supporting cast (including Lynn Whitfield, Dylan Baker, Robin Givens, and especially Bernie Mac as Gilliam's brother and running mate) provide solid comic support. --Bret Fetzer |

| I think we all know Eminem did a better job of keeping it real. But Rock kept me chuckling, and eventually threw in enough to make it worthwhile even though he does play the "look how funny we black folks is" card too often. The big debate was stupid, though. I'd rather rewatch Eminem's rap battle. I may need to rewatch WAG THE DOG because it's more accurate. But damn it all, I've watched this twice and can't seem to add it to the great "DVD Swap Collection" we expats in China pass around. I'd still vote for Chris Rock against Dubya. MG2K4. Ya heard? |
