Watch Combover: The Movie For Free

good back-story, and good acting

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Okay, I was skeptical when I first considered that an entire movie could be made about combovers. However, after watching this movie (at least four or five times), I'm totally convinced there needs to be a sequel! Not only is this movie hysterically funny, it's cleverly structured to give us a light-hearted insight into why this disturbing hair style is popular among a small group of people. I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of the academic analysis to help explain why this troubling fashion statement might be chosen! Anyone thinking that this movie is mean-spirited or harsh in any way probably just isn't comfortable with their own combover. C'mon, even the "interview-ees" were laughing about their own "do".A subculture expose' at it's finest.

If you've ever been curious about the segment of the male population that chooses to cover up their baldness by growing their side hair long ... this movie is worth checking out. It's a documentary that follows Tim Fenoglio (a fellow with a lot of hair) around as he looks for and talks to men who do combovers.This movie is about 50 minutes long and covers, in a pop-culture way, the background and techniques for doing combovers. Fenoglio is a little weird in his fascination / enthusiasm with the men who do this - but it seems all innocently good. If you're interested in learning about this topic, this is probably one of the very few shows (maybe even the "only" one) to address it.

Watched this movie the other day with my wife and we literally fell off the bed in hysterics. It is more than just a silly movie, it's a side splitting metaphor for the human condition. Whether you have a comb-over or not, it's a revealing look at how our human psyche works. The rationalizations that each of Marino's interviewees give him is priceless. From the guy who does a comb-over even though he has a full head of hair, to a gentleman who really believes that it prevents him from getting head colds. Anybody who is looking for an hour of laughs should keep an eye out for this documentary.

Why it took so long for someone to document such an interesting solution to a natural event is another question that needs to be answered.I Googled the doc and was surprised to see so much had already been written about it. I must have been living in a box for the last couple of years because I am always looking for documentaries that enlighten and Combover: the Movie not only enlightens, it entertains and leaves you feeling good. Every character in the doc offers a unique perspective into a hairstyle that everyone is curious about. It is definitely not mean spirited! During my Google search I found a review that was written about Combover: the Movie from the London Daily News, I think it sums it up well: "It is funny to the last without stooping to cruelty" I felt that way after watching the doc, which is quite high praise given the subject matter.
