CRITICS OF "Head of State"

Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)

Not merely satisfied with stereotyping whites, Rock insists on taking shots at blacks, fat people, poor people and even spina bifida patients.

September 20, 2004

Village Voice

It's pretty much a toothless dog.

April 01, 2003

Cinema Crazed

Rock is a man who continues to perpetuate stereotypes for the price of "comedy" and continues making one terrible film after the other.

April 01, 2014

Resource

Washington Post

Though the comedy falls short of a debacle -- which is what such egocentric projects tend to be -- it isn't as sharp, fast or funny as Rock's stand-up routines.

March 28, 2003

Film Threat

'...Along comes Chris Rock with "Head of State", a mild comedy...'

March 31, 2005

Resource

Common Sense Media

Chris Rock runs for president.

December 24, 2010

Apollo Guide

Although a reheated formula, Head of State dishes out a few original laughs due to in part to the writing of Chris Rock.

January 26, 2004

Resource

Low IQ Canadian

Chris Rock suffers from painful verbal constipation in this PG-13 clunker. Hollywood, make it NC-17 when Chris and Bernie run for re-election.

July 18, 2004

Washington Post

Not the sharpest political humor I've ever heard, but it gets my vote for the stupidest fun I've had in a long time.

March 28, 2003

Resource

Rolling Stone

A missed opportunity.

April 10, 2003

Ebert & Roeper

... I liked this premise in movies like Dave, or the Eddie Murphy movie The Distinguished Gentleman, where the unknown or the underdog becomes the candidate or even the president, but this is so poorly done.

March 31, 2003

ReelViews

As a TV sitcom pilot, Head of State might have potential, but, on a multiplex screen, the execution (if not the premise) is thin.
