HEAD OF STATE (Theatrical Release USA 2003)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Head of State—cute, light comedy—presents a comical ‘what if’ scenario. Fresh script idea is made even better with the casting of Chris Rock as the decoy presidential candidate flanked with Bernie Mac. The two recognized comedians push the comedy in such a way that the audience becomes unsure of the hoped for ending. Good entertainment from Director Chris Rock.
