Head of State
This story tells about many of the powerful political events we live in the world. That story began with a highly thoughtful African-American politician who could have a chance in a new presidential campaign in a new confrontation. The film casts a controversial look at the public servant, Mays Gilliam, on her way to fame among the people.

'...Along comes Chris Rock with "Head of State", a mild comedy...'
January 26, 2004
Although a reheated formula, Head of State dishes out a few original laughs due to in part to the writing of Chris Rock.
July 18, 2004
Chris Rock suffers from painful verbal constipation in this PG-13 clunker. Hollywood, make it NC-17 when Chris and Bernie run for re-election.
April 01, 2014
Rock is a man who continues to perpetuate stereotypes for the price of "comedy" and continues making one terrible film after the other.
September 20, 2004
Not merely satisfied with stereotyping whites, Rock insists on taking shots at blacks, fat people, poor people and even spina bifida patients.
March 29, 2003
As a TV sitcom pilot, Head of State might have potential, but, on a multiplex screen, the execution (if not the premise) is thin.
December 24, 2010
Chris Rock runs for president.
April 10, 2003
A missed opportunity.
March 28, 2003
Not the sharpest political humor I've ever heard, but it gets my vote for the stupidest fun I've had in a long time.
March 28, 2003
Though the comedy falls short of a debacle -- which is what such egocentric projects tend to be -- it isn't as sharp, fast or funny as Rock's stand-up routines.
March 31, 2003
... I liked this premise in movies like Dave, or the Eddie Murphy movie The Distinguished Gentleman, where the unknown or the underdog becomes the candidate or even the president, but this is so poorly done.
April 01, 2003
It's pretty much a toothless dog.
