Surprised how bad these reviews are. If people are looking for deep meaning, this is not the place to find it. But if they're looking to be entertained, this unusual journey into the world of men's grooming will do just that. I found it hilarious, shared it with friends, and they did as well. Take a chance. You might just laugh!

Morgan Spurlock, el director del divertido documental "Super Size Me", nos entrega una divertida aproximación a lo que significa ser hombre en el nuevo milenio. "Mansome" habla sobre bigotes, pelos y acicalamiento sin mucha profundidad, pero con mucho humor y se vale del carisma de actores como Paul Rudd, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett y Zack Galifianakis para vehiculizar sus temas.

Although the male grooming topic is potentially intriguing (including mustache obsessions, metrosexuals, and competitive beard growing), there is no real focus through the divergent subtopics. Told with humor and a bit of satirized machismo, the documentary is lighthearted and does not offer any significant insight into deeper issues such as male insecurities with body image or cultural pressures on the modern American man. It's pure fluff: light, pleasant and unmemorable. As a "documentary", it's flimsy and undeserving.

meh, pretty blasee, not Spurlock's best effort

Pretty pointless with no lasting insight, but at the same time watchable enough whilst its on

Seriously, Watch It Just To See The Insightful Look At The "Fresh Balls" Product Line Focus Group Testing. It Is Laugh Out Loud Hilarious. The Vox-Pop Comments From Paul Rudd, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett & Zac Galifianakis Are Also Added Par For The Course On This Tongue-In-Check Look Into Manhood. The Modern Man Is Definitely At A Cross-Roads These Days..Where Does One Go To Be Manly These Days? Hair Is Out..But In Some Places, It's Also In!?? It's All Too Confusing..I Give Up.

A light-hearted documentary from Morgan Spurlock about the modern (essentially straight) man's grooming habits. It is split up into chapters (moustache, beard, body, head etc) which are punctuated by skits between Jason Bateman and Ben Silverman (also producers of the film). It kind of skims over the potentially interesting subject of the analysis of metrosexuality. The skits are uber unfunny and only some of the talking heads are interesting. Don't waste your time.

Entertaining and a pretty decent documentary.

With little insight into the perplexingly successful Hollywood career of Jason Bateman, "Mansome" is a superficial documentary about how shallow society has become while giving little thought to the cost, except in pricing haircuts. But according to Morgan Spurlock, that's a very good thing, as how else are you supposed to find a mate if you are not looking your very best, according to men's magazines.(Note: I read the New Yorker.) But if all you are going by is looks, then what kind of person will you end up with? Maybe somebody who will shave your back but not somebody who will have it. This is also in a country where we are constantly informed that we are either too skinny or too fat. That's not to mention its long vicious history of racism that continues to inform all sorts of beauty standards even today. And then the movie celebrates the Sikh subject's turning his back on his tradition without worrying about any kind of downside.

it was not about men

Never answers any movie's most essential question: Why should we care?

This sometimes weird but always funny documentary debates about what makes a man, a man. The evolution of masculinity, what's hot, what's gross, what makes a difference and what not. In the end, it seems that us men are more vain than women. I would say that it's more about insecurities than vanity. Nevertheless, in the end, it shouldn't about what others expect from us, is what makes us happy and confident about ourselves. Easier said than done.

Passably forgettable documentary that ultimately never surprises or says anything.

Mansome is a strange mix of pointless interviews and a slightly annoying sub dialogue of Jason Bateman and Will Arnett as they get a spa treatment. The three stars are for the section that follows the Beardman and his unique ginger beard in his quest to dominate all beard competitions.

An interesting look at some of the obsessions men have about their identity and looks from hair, to mustaches to grooming in general. It doesn't focus on one solid idea, but shows how diverse men are with their attempts at looking the way they do, and how diverse women are in what they want. In then end, It just solidifies that there is something for everyone.

A very interesting doco on how men look at themselves, how the world look at them and how everyone has their own idea of what is manly. Includes actors, musicians, wrestlers, etc.

This is a very vacuous documentary looking at men's grooming habits, but parts of it are fairly amusing. The Jason Bateman and Will Arnett bits are funny, and they have some other funny guests such as Paul Rudd, Judd Apatow and Zach Galifiniakis. If you like any of the talent involved, then check it out, otherwise skip it!

Although this documentary is not as intriguing as it should be, I still found myself enjoying Mansome. Listening to comedians talk about what defines a man today did leave me laughing, and I was interested during it's run time. If you really want a deep documentary, then maybe is not for you (the title is about as deep as it gets). However for a casual watcher, you'll find yourself entertained.

A documentary about the men and their beards and moustaches and other things are now been targeted by companies like women have already been. A bit of a messy as a whole with Arnett and Bateman taking you right off from the more interesting bits with their really not funny insights (from the bath f.e.). Not one of Spurlocks finests.
