Preview: Good Hair (2009)

Synopsis:

Chris Rock explores the world of black hair and the multi-million dollar industry built around straighteners, weaves and other dangerous and costly follicular procedures.

• Poster: B-

Review:

The first thing I thought of when looking at the poster was that we were getting a film about Chris Rock as a hairdresser in the vein of Barbershop, which is a bit misleading.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

It looks exceptionally fun despite being a serio-comic documentary about women trying to meet the expectations of society.

Oscar Prospects:

Despite being a former Oscar host, Chris Rock is very unlikely to earn a nomination for this film, even if it is good, because humor documentaries are very hard to sell to voters.

Release Date:

• October 9, 2009
