Watch Head of State For Free

Touches You

To me, this movie is perfection.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Why is it that in the quotes list, no one has listed Mays' first big speech? YOu know, the one where he turns off the TelePrompter (somewhat expected, from a rebel candidate), and sets off into a Chris Rock standup routine that turns the whole campaign around? It's one of the funniest pieces of standup I've ever seen--even funnier than when he compared the war to 'coming $87 million short on your register at the Gap, and then leading them in a war against Banana Republic because they have 'toxic tank tops,' only to find out when the workforce at the Gap has been reduced by half that Banana Republic doesn't sell tank tops.' (See the 2005 Oscars.) Bernie Mac fits wonderfully as the older brother turned running mate, and the rest of the movie fits wonderfully. Especially when Mays takes the love interest on a tour of DC (while making fun of anybody and everybody who has a building--Abe Lincoln ('okay, I'll free the slaves, but first you've got to build me a huge statue' (paraphrased)) to Oprah ('There's the Treasury. If you look closely, you'll see Oprah inside counting all her money).

First, I like Chris Rock --- A LOT !!! I think he's a tremendous talent and an extremely funny comedian. Having said that, after watching 'Head of State' I wish he would just stick to what he does well (he's also always entertaining on talk shows) and stop abusing us with his theatric crap. Man, this movie was BRUTAL !!! It might be one of the dumbest movies I've seen in ... oh wait, I saw 'Christmas with the Kranks' over the holidays --- so, make that THE second dumbest flick I've watched in the past few years. 'Head of State' would have been better served if Chris Rock would have just said "vote for me" at the start. Ten seconds. End of movie. BRAVO !!! Believe me, it would have been an improvement.Rock is bad (as in "not good"). Bernie Mac offers nothing. Robin Givens is even in this joke (oops! poor choice of words). She should just stick to being Mike Tyson's ex & her occasional Barbara Walters interview. The rest of the cast is forgettable ... and trust me, so is the entire movie.Stick to the stage Rock ... stick to the stage.

White people acting like idiots as soon as Chris Rock throws on a little Nelly at a fundraiser, behaving like wiggers, having large glasses and so on.Black people acting like fools basically all the time, being stereotypical village idiots with no wits at all.stereotypes that really does not help to sooth racial tension in any way, quite the contrary actually.I gave it a three, if it wasn't for Bernie Mac I would have given it a one.Awful!

In Chris Rock's "Head of State" the film shows what an African American would do if he were running for president of the United States, and to be honest with people, I would vote for Chris. The film's premise is about an alderman (Rock) who is fired from his job, lost his girlfriend (Robin Givens)and is being nominated for President of the United States after a fellow candidate died on a plane crash. The film's plot isn't important, because in the end Chris Rock wins; but what I found interesting about the film was the point of view that Chris Rock's character makes from taxes, education, violence, social security, etc. and what is great about the film is when Rock's character makes connections not only to the rich and middle class, but to lower income people and those that society rejects. I hope George W. Bush watches this movie, maybe he would learn a lesson and would actually care about the citizens who voted for him, instead of the rich.
