What is, in effect, a wasted opportunity...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 20, 2022

Chris Rock talks about ladies hair - and it's awesome...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 19, 2021

For the uninitiated, the observations and discoveries are often startling.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 5, 2018

Mr Rock is one proud, if heartbroken, daddy and also a lovely, free-wheeling guide through African-American, Afro-hating hair culture.

| Aug 30, 2018

It raises interesting issues of image, self-esteem and social pressures, and Rock turns out to be an engaging interviewer.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2018

A slipshod doc about a fascinating subject.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 17, 2011

Though Rock's affable nature and probing comic instincts ensure the tone is always light and jocular, his discoveries are sometimes jaw-dropping...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2010

It's an eye-opener, if a blatantly chauvinistic one: Rock's main beefs seem to be that men have to pay for it, and upkeep of such a coveted accessory is a barrier to intimacy in the bedroom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2010

Chris Rock hosts this exploration into hair issues in the African-American community, talking to celebrities, experts and hairdressers. What's surprising is that this is such a big issue, although the film isn't much more than entertaining fluff.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 30, 2010

All Christopher Guest-allusions aside, this is a crucial documentary about race and gender today.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 25, 2010

Despite dozens of interviews and Rock's personal agenda, this isn't the hard-hitting expose it should have been.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2010

Rock fronts this informative rummage through the $9 billion US black hair industry in a style much like his stand-up comedy: hilarious, insightful and charming enough to let him get away with the flammable stuff.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2010

It's just about sharp and funny enough to make you wish it was a bit sharper and funnier.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2010

Though its production values are on the low side and it flounders a little as it bounces from Hollywood to India, overall it's a fascinating, energetic and enlightening film that'll ensure you'll never look at hair the same way again.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 24, 2010

...an amiable and mostly funny spotlight on a part of black culture...

| Original Score: B | Dec 17, 2009

Mr. Rock and Mr. Stilson don't beat you up with a tiresome polemic a-la Michael Moore. Never does he put himself at the center of the film, condescend to the audience, or insult his interview subjects regardless of their views...

| Dec 6, 2009

Superficial doc.

| Original Score: C | Nov 25, 2009

The "Girlfriend, ya gotta see this movie!" of the year for an entertaining and provocative tour of some of the permutations of African-American women with their hair.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 3, 2009

Good Hair stands as an informative and entertaining documentary, and one that's pulled off with no small measure of style.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 2, 2009

Educates more than it entertains, even though there's plenty of colorful subjects (Chris) Rock could have gently lampooned.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2009
