"Mansome" a fun, amusing Morgan Spurlock doc
"Mansome"
is the amusing new documentary from noted filmmaker Morgan Spurlock
("Super Size Me"), who this time takes a look at 21st Century men's
grooming habits. Interestingly, the term "mansome" is actually a word,
as Urban Dictionary defines it as an adjective that describes a man who
is both "manly and handsome." Spurlock, with the help of actors Paul
Rudd, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and others humorously take a look at
how everything about men's grooming - particularly hair and body
products and shaving - have changed in contemporary times. Done in
typical cheeky Spurlock fashion, the topic is slight and seems mostly a
way for Spurlock and his pals to have fun with the subject, especially
the section on the beardsman. That's not to say it isn't fun, just not
as relevant and fascinating as some of Spurlock's other work, given that
metrosexuals have been around since the Clinton Administration.
Enjoyable and light-hearted.
