Jackpollins Review of Good Hair

Good Hair (2009)

This could of easily been a terrible movie, but Chris Rock gives it a likable, zippy, and edgy effect to it

[9/10 · 9 October 2009]

At the risk of sounding racist, I was a white guy in a theatre full of black people. I'm sorry if that sounds a little racist, but it's true. When I walked out, a black woman was walking out of the theatre with her husband, and she said did you like it? I thought she said it to her husband, but indeed she said it to me. I could of easily walked out and said no, but I actually liked it quite a bit. I believe if some unknown person made a documentary about hair, I would of said despised every minute of it, but it is indeed the very funny Chris Rock making it. This is why I am recommeding Good Hair. Rock makes this a fun, zippy, likable, and even educational look into the art of hair. The film is fun from start to finish, especially in the last 15 minutes or so when four people are competing in a hair competition. Good Hair could of been many things-racist, boring, stupid, tedious, slow to name a few. It ended up being many things-fun, zippy, educational, smart to name a few. For anyone who likes Chris Rock or who is even slightly interesting in hair, definitely see Good Hair.
