Synopsis
From America's greatest beardsman, to Morgan Spurlock's own mustache, Executive Producers Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Ben Silverman bring us a hilarious look at men's identity in the 21st century. Models, actors, experts and comedians weigh in on what it is to be a man in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg. The hilarious follicles of men's idiosyncratic grooming habits are thoroughly combed over as men finally take a long hard look in the mirror.

Entertainment Weekly
The best thing about the movie is that it keeps drawing conclusions in opposite directions. - 75
Portland Oregonian
There are a few chuckles, a few head-scratches and, thankfully, very few missteps. It charms. - 50
Boston Globe
It's a movie so late in noticing a shift in American male grooming that for a documentary on the subject to work, Spurlock would either have to pitch it to our grandparents (or be a grandparent) or trace the arc of the shift and unpack it. - 40
Time Out
Their brotherly bickering may be a useful time killer until the new Arrested Development episodes drop, but it's ultimately foamy filler added to a frustratingly frothy film that says nothing about its subject. - 40
Village Voice
While making a priority of squeezing in every usable bit of celebrity face-time, Mansome passes by potentially interesting digressions without more than a wayward glance. - 40
Austin Chronicle
Mansome is mostly miss, and pretty thin as well. - 40
New York Daily News
Think of Mansome as the equivalent of a $10 manicure: It'll modestly enhance your day without making any lasting impact. - 38
Slant Magazine
The sociological commentary and historical perspectives are superficial at best and the targets often too easy.
