In the movie School Daze, Spike Lee staged a dance number in which two bands of African-American college students debated the merits of "Straight and Nappy" hair in song, and now comedian Chris Rock and filmmaker Jeff Stilson have extended the conversation to a full-length film in this witty documentary with serious undertones. Rock says he was inspired to make the film when his young daughter asked him, "Daddy, how come I don't have good hair?" and he and Stilson examine black America's obsession with their hair as they visit the Bronner Brothers International Hair Show, an annual trade show for the African-American hair care industry which includes fierce competitions among stylists from around the country and demonstrations of new hair products and techniques. Along the way, Rock also talks to a number of African-American luminaries about their hair issues (including Maya Angelou, the Rev. Al Sharpton, Nia Long, Raven Symone, Ice-T, and Paul Mooney), researches the dangers of many common hair-straightening treatments, reveals the surprising expense of regular hair "relaxing" and weaves, and ponders what the pursuit of straight hair says about African-American cultural identity. Good Hair received its world premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Good Hair
New Review For Movie Good Hair
Rock fronts this informative rummage through the $9 billion US black hair industry in a style much like his stand-up comedy: hilarious, insightful and charming enough to let him get away with the flammable stuff.Cath Clarke-Time Out
Full of sweetly sardonic observations, the docu-comedy is one of the funniest movies of the year.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
Rock sheds new light on this old story through a poignant mix of interviews, investigation and his trademark satire.
Jesse Washington-Associated Press
It's funny, clever and marginally educational. You can tell your friends you went to a documentary without having felt as if you saw one.
Peter Hartlaub-San Francisco Chronicle
It's rich food for thought, though you wonder why little attention is given to the idea that perhaps some women relax their hair because it's easier to style that way, or that elaborate attention to hair is hardly exclusive to black women.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Morgan Spurlock, look lively. Sacha Baron Cohen, watch your back. Chris Rock's bright, wisecracking exposà (C) Good Hair is the mane event.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Though Rock's affable nature and probing comic instincts ensure the tone is always light and jocular, his discoveries are sometimes jaw-dropping...
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
It's an eye-opener, if a blatantly chauvinistic one: Rock's main beefs seem to be that men have to pay for it, and upkeep of such a coveted accessory is a barrier to intimacy in the bedroom.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Chris Rock hosts this exploration into hair issues in the African-American community, talking to celebrities, experts and hairdressers. What's surprising is that this is such a big issue, although the film isn't much more than entertaining fluff.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
All Christopher Guest-allusions aside, this is a crucial documentary about race and gender today.
Georgie Hobbs-Little White Lies
Despite dozens of interviews and Rock's personal agenda, this isn't the hard-hitting expose it should have been.
David Hughes-Empire Magazine
It's just about sharp and funny enough to make you wish it was a bit sharper and funnier.
Robbie Collin-News of the World
Though its production values are on the low side and it flounders a little as it bounces from Hollywood to India, overall it's a fascinating, energetic and enlightening film that'll ensure you'll never look at hair the same way again.
Karen Krizanovich-Radio Times
...an amiable and mostly funny spotlight on a part of black culture...
Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com
Mr. Rock and Mr. Stilson don't beat you up with a tiresome polemic a-la Michael Moore. Never does he put himself at the center of the film, condescend to the audience, or insult his interview subjects regardless of their views...
Rubin Safaya-Cinemalogue.com
Superficial doc.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
The "Girlfriend, ya gotta see this movie!" of the year for an entertaining and provocative tour of some of the permutations of African-American women with their hair.
Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com
Good Hair stands as an informative and entertaining documentary, and one that's pulled off with no small measure of style.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Educates more than it entertains, even though there's plenty of colorful subjects (Chris) Rock could have gently lampooned.
Sean O'Connell-Charlotte Weekly
One of the best movies of the year seems to be lost in the Halloween-time shuffle.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
Hair-larious!
Kam Williams-NewsBlaze
Despite the padding, there's enough interesting sociological digging here -- not to mention the easygoing presence of comic Chris Rock -- to keep us entertained and even enlightened.
Robert W. Butler-Kansas City Star
Good Hair...uncovers a multibillion dollar industry relying on misinformation, misrepresentation, and misguided personal opinions about fashion to maintain its beauty salon stronghold.
Bill Gibron-PopMatters
Unlike most documentaries with a message, 'Good Hair' invites moviegoers to a conversation, not a lecture.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
