    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.

      The best thing about the movie is that it keeps drawing conclusions in opposite directions.

      There are a few chuckles, a few head-scratches and, thankfully, very few missteps. It charms.

      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.

      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.

      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.

      Mansome is mostly miss, and pretty thin as well.

      Think of Mansome as the equivalent of a $10 manicure: It'll modestly enhance your day without making any lasting impact.

      The sociological commentary and historical perspectives are superficial at best and the targets often too easy.
