Mays Gilliam, a Washington D.C. neighborhood Alderman, is about to be red-lined out of his job.

The players in Gilliam's life include: Mitch Gilliam, his unsophisticated older brother who becomes his running mate; Kim, his ex-girlfriend who had once dumped him, but who now has a sudden change of heart as she sees a chance at becoming First Lady; Martin Geller, his campaign manager; Lisa Clark, the woman who truly believes in Gilliam; and Debra Lassiter, the woman who doesn't have faith in his candidacy, and is serving as his reluctant advisor.

Chris Rock has made a name for himself interesting. He is a black comedian
which has been in almost 60 films, a writer and co-writer of films and TV Programs
as Saturday Night Live, and is a man with strong political views
. So, with all that talent and experience, it seems that if more
were to write and produce a political satire, had to be a mixture of
biting comedy with a message.

If only that were the case with `Head of State." Instead of biting satire
poking fun at the political system, there is a collection of jokes that gag,
themselves are fun, but neither politically relevant or satirical
in any way. What is more romantic comedy-sub is too prominent,
elbowing out the main theme of the film.

Rock plays Mays Gilliam, Washington, DC alderman who is a man of the people
. Not only the good things in their neighborhood, but even drug dealers
like him. When the current Democratic presidential candidates
die unexpectedly, Gilliam is selected by the party to replace
them, all in the name of a politician who sets ambitious junior Rock
to lose hope of obtaining the nomination to the upcoming elections. Through a series of gags and
mishaps, Gilliam not only elected, but the girl gets
too.

The film is certainly jokes, many of whom are really fun. In fact,
if they were all jokes, `Airplane 'and` The Naked Gun', then the film Rock
would have been surprisingly refreshing. However, the mood was tempered
attempts of a serious side - both on the political front and the romantic
front - and the script does not know when one ends and another begins.
What's more, the parties to serous or romantic film, despite jokes,
were simply silly.

Not that the formula does not work. It has been done many times before, as
`Dave ', starring Kevin Klein, and Warren Beatty's" Bulworth'.
In each case, the "candidate" was unlikely and on the edge, but his Straight Talk
and unconventional approach to politics appeals to people
and the film resonated with the public. In essence, using this issue as the platform for
satirical poignancy was very effective (
an entertainment perspective, not necessarily as a valid social commentary). In the end, the
reason these films worked is because it is clear that the gags and final
seriousness begins.

In a separate note regarding the current events of today, I could not help but notice that
because the reality is that this movie is actually more disturbing
of what should be. In fact, harkens back to the old days
of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. Back then, people have no politics or world events
seriously at all, as evidenced by the fact that we had
real, serious attempts at the presidency of people like Donald Trump, Ross
Perot, and yes, even Warren Beatty. You will never see their names in
press in the current environment. "Maybe Head of State"
should have been released during a time when society the perception of politics and
presidency was not so important. But today, is simply
mysterious and disturbing.
There, amid all the obvious and sometimes not fun elements, a
some comic gems in here, despite what many might fear. Chris Rock is good natured
Joe is a result of difficult and sometimes perhaps the film
have benefited from a little more cruelty. However, this
never really intended to be a pure comedy and it is useless to try
as such.

As political satire, Head of State receives quite a bit
painfully accurate: The incumbent Republican, Rock's rival, is a great mix of
both Bush and Kerry, while the race reflects the perversity of the 2004 election to
, often hilarious way (to go after every rally,
except the one for cancer victims, Rock is affected by a business that asks whether
he is "cancer"?). The problem is that all this is sometimes hurts
things too surreal that belongs more in a fluffy rom-com (Rock
the direction of an uptight dancing in a fund-raising reception) and whenever < br> tries to be sympathetic to appeal to a (still) wider audience, it hurts.
As an actor, Rock is also increasingly UpStage Bernie Mac enters the
framework, wildness his charisma and much more attractive than the bland Rock
hero.

After all, it's worth seeing at least once, if only because it is essential satire
a rare form of entertainment. Were it not for that
this watch, knowing that both the first Rock and uninhibited expression and its last
hit anything, either Bush and Kerry managed to mumble, both in common sense and strength
.
