Mansome

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Mansome is a threadbare documentary with little insight into modern male maintenance, with useless celebrity interviews padding an already slim runtime.

Andrew O'Hehir Salon.com It's more first-person journal and travelogue than it is cultural archaeology, and as such it's basically OK. May 19, 2012 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle 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. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times There's no real center to the film's potentially insightful topic, with Spurlock never zeroing in on a cohesive message. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2012 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express You'll forget about this one while you're still watching it. May 31, 2012 Full Review Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine Reality TV 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 Full Review Shannon M. Houston Paste Magazine Spurlock seems to be wholeheartedly interested in the motivating factors behind manscaping and other choices men make about their appearances. Rated: 7.4/10 May 22, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

ivy m 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member meh, pretty blasee, not Spurlock's best effort Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty pointless with no lasting insight, but at the same time watchable enough whilst its on Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
