If, like me, you're a caucasian male, I take it that you've never taken a second to consider the hair of African American women. It has nothing to do with racism or sexism - but, well, how much can there be to say? "Good Hair", then, will come off as a major surprise.

I will always love Chris Rock for creating this film. So eye-opening and informative. It was crazy watching it. Watching this film from my perspective was like I was part of a club all this time that I didn't even realize I was a part of. I went through many of these experiences ...( read more)
Chris Rock keeps this surprisingly fun and enagaging doc from turning into a major dud, as it's his one liners and curiousity that keep it moving. Very educational and well done.

Morgan Spurlock, look lively. Sacha Baron Cohen, watch your back. Chris Rock's bright, wisecracking exposé Good Hair is the mane event. full review
Good Hair is certainly no arid anthropological study. Rock's queries are loose and quippy, but his instincts are as sharp as an investigative journalist's. full review

Chris Rock's Good Hair is one of those rare documentaries that works on two seemingly incongruous levels at once: It's both social commentary and pure delight. full review
Rock is not only funny, he's an affable and intelligent host in a documentary that is accessible, breezy and highly informative. full review
[Rock] conveys a lot of information, but also some unfortunate opinions and misleading facts. That doesn't mean the movie isn't warm, funny and entertaining. full review
