rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kld718 - This film is not one that I would usually watch but I happened to catch it a while ago when one of my clients borrowed the videotape from one of her friends. She brought it down to the lounge for my co-worker and I to watch with her. I count this as one...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author isskandar - Well, the movie is supposed to be a comedy about how a crafty local boy can make it big and help people, even if his methods are a little unorthodox. With Chris Rock involved, there's potential to be a good movie. Unfortunately, through a flat script, a...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sugar_seb - Usually I enjoy Chris Rock films- but I never expect much from them. The fact is that this time I probably expected too much... Rock´s earlier solo film ´Down to Earth´ was a descent, sweet comedy. It offered some great laughs, however I think Rock is...

mvie mu-1121002: Funny, romantic, but a bit unrealistic

Sat, 4 Oct 2003 21:31:13 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author robinsteve14 - This movie thrives of comedy, entirely because of one of the all-time best comedians, Chris Rock. This movie is based upon the plot of Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock), an alterman for Washington D.C., being selected to run for President of the USA after an unf...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author seacow - Chris Rock plays Mays Gilliam, an African-American alderman from the ninth district of Washington, D.C. (His license plate is Ward 9. It took me a while to make the connection.) He’s responsible and takes care of his area. That eventually sets him up...

mvie mu-1121002: I've had the misfortune of watching Head of State

Sat, 20 Sep 2003 18:13:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pat_toner - Simply put, Head of State is a bad film that probably should never have been produced. Chris Rock isn’t funny in it and neither is Bernie Mac, which is a shame considering both of those guys’ standup routines are utterly hysterical. They merely sh...

Tue, 16 Sep 2003 16:18:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tristero - For Head of State to be anymore Chris Rock, he would have to change the toilet paper in the dressing room stalls. Rock stars in the film. He wrote the script. It's his show. And it's a bloody mess. Rock plays a young D.C. alderman whom democra...

Tue, 2 Sep 2003 22:52:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author vadimio - Chris Rock is quite a comedian. As of now, he has had parts in many, many movies, and he has dazzled us with him humor. In Head of State, Chris Rock not only lands the lead role, but he is also the director and producer behind this movie. Head o...

mvie mu-1121002: "That ain't right" is only an understatement facing this crappy comic candidate.

mvie mu-1121002: "Head of State"

Wed, 21 May 2003 19:30:51 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tfg02001 - “Head of State” is absurd. That is the point. The question is, does this satire of electing the first ‘regular joe’ (whom is also black) president, work? The movie is quite a crowd pleaser. Everyone knows from the start of...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author HawgWyld - Folks, there's nothing like a good ol' war to bring out the noisy extremists, is there? You've got the "let's kill all the Arabs" crowd. You've got the equally-offensive "America must be destroyed" crowd. Hell, you've even got folks still counting votes...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author filmbrat - Word to Hollywood - stop with the multi-tasking, already.

I don't understand the logic of Hollywood sometimes. They tend to assume that because someone is good at A, then they must be talented enough to do X,Y, and Z. Chris Rock wrote,...

Mon, 31 Mar 2003 04:49:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author minorthreat78 - I would like to take this moment to mention that I think Chris Rock is a very funny and talented comedian, and a pretty good talk show host. His work is often relevant and insightful, and usually funny.

Unfortunately, his film career has been...

mvie mu-1121002: This Ain't Right

Sun, 30 Mar 2003 16:31:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author movie_critic - "Head of State" is Chris Rock's debut as the director and as the head writer of a major film. In a way, this movie shows Rock's potential and his ability to make a smart movie, but those elements aren't really present here.
