Mansome Reviews

You'll forget about this one while you're still watching it.

Full Review | May 31, 2012

Reality 온라인카지노추천 lacks Spurlock's sly willingness to let the eccentric explain themselves, rather than letting them appear foolish. It's not deep, but then, it's about vanity.

| May 23, 2012

Spurlock seems to be wholeheartedly interested in the motivating factors behind manscaping and other choices men make about their appearances.

| Original Score: 7.4/10 | May 22, 2012

Just because the film's subject is surfaces doesn't mean it only warrants a slight, surface treatment.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 21, 2012

Mansome is arguably [Spurlock's] most insignificant, lightweight effort to date. Never mind that it doesn't provide any answers; it barely even asks a question.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 20, 2012

It's more first-person journal and travelogue than it is cultural archaeology, and as such it's basically OK.

| May 19, 2012

A lighthearted and entertaining, but ultimately inconsequential look at masculine identity as seen through the varied grooming habits of the modern male.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 19, 2012

The one thing I want to do after watching this movie is to look up the product Fresh Balls. Yes! It does exactly what the product is called. That sounds awesome!

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 18, 2012

Too often the film just feels repetitive or irrelevant.

| May 18, 2012

As a documentary dissertation on all that it means to be male in the modern world, you'd be better off investing in the complete works of Ernest Hemingway and watching a few Samuel Fuller and/or John Milius films.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2012

A shallow, disposal trifle about beards and waxing: the People magazine version of anthropology.

| Original Score: C | May 18, 2012

There's no real center to the film's potentially insightful topic, with Spurlock never zeroing in on a cohesive message.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 18, 2012

As documentaries go, this is lip gloss.

| Original Score: C | May 18, 2012

The movie purports to be a lighthearted look at changing notions of masculinity and appearance. But unless you find something intrinsically hilarious about a man getting a pedicure, laughs are scarce.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 18, 2012

Mansome is a mullet ... neither all-out funny nor seriously thought-provoking. To mangle that famous quote by Gertrude Stein: 'There is no hair there.'

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 18, 2012

There are a few chuckles, a few head-scratches and, thankfully, very few missteps. It charms.

| Original Score: B | May 17, 2012

This complete waste of 82 minutes finds documentarian Morgan Spurlock taking a look at current trends in men's grooming, featuring interviews with a random sampling of people who have no idea what they're talking about - but they're famous.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 17, 2012

Mansome's crowning achievement is its title.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 17, 2012

It feels like a bunch of television segments slapped together, with sparing use of Mr. Spurlock himself.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 17, 2012

Spurlock certainly gets points for, well, fresh territory.
