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.

It's more first-person journal and travelogue than it is cultural archaeology, and as such it's basically OK. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

There's no real center to the film's potentially insightful topic, with Spurlock never zeroing in on a cohesive message. Go to Full Review

You'll forget about this one while you're still watching it. Go to Full Review
Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine 05/23/2012
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. Go to Full Review

7.4/10
Spurlock seems to be wholeheartedly interested in the motivating factors behind manscaping and other choices men make about their appearances. Go to Full Review

Ivy M 10/04/2020 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! See more 08/31/2015 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.

See more 04/18/2015 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. See more 11/06/2014 meh, pretty blasee, not Spurlock's best effort See more 08/11/2014 Pretty pointless with no lasting insight, but at the same time watchable enough whilst its on See more Read all reviews
