Sometimes a film can actually affect the future. Since this movie came out in 2003 and Obama wasn't elected until 2008, what influence did it have? I haven't read all the IMDb reviews, so I wonder if any of them mention President Obama? I wonder if this movie affected that Obama actually got elected?

I was so sadden about one thing in this movie. The writer was creative in having an Afro-American running for the Presidency, and of course, you know he is going to win. Very good points were made through out the film. Imagine having whores just for the Government workers. The comedy is very typical of the Star. His girlfriend drops him like a hot potato (Did I spell potato correctly?"), until she finds out he is running for President of the United States. By that time he has become involved with another beautiful young lady, and yes, lady two will be the First Lady. This guy gets knocked to the ground with words of discouragement from a sister who was suppose to help him run, but not win. In the end she made a stand and did the right thing giving honest support. So what is there to be ashamed of? I sent this movie to a fire when the statement about Jon Benet was made. It was the lowest thing next to a snakes' belly, and I am not going to support this further. An apology needs to be made to the family and to everyone who purchased this movie. What a low down dirty shame.

First, I like Chris Rock --- A LOT !!! I think he's a tremendous talent and an extremely funny comedian. Having said that, after watching 'Head of State' I wish he would just stick to what he does well (he's also always entertaining on talk shows) and stop abusing us with his theatric crap. Man, this movie was BRUTAL !!! It might be one of the dumbest movies I've seen in ... oh wait, I saw 'Christmas with the Kranks' over the holidays --- so, make that THE second dumbest flick I've watched in the past few years. 'Head of State' would have been better served if Chris Rock would have just said "vote for me" at the start. Ten seconds. End of movie. BRAVO !!! Believe me, it would have been an improvement.Rock is bad (as in "not good"). Bernie Mac offers nothing. Robin Givens is even in this joke (oops! poor choice of words). She should just stick to being Mike Tyson's ex & her occasional Barbara Walters interview. The rest of the cast is forgettable ... and trust me, so is the entire movie.Stick to the stage Rock ... stick to the stage.

Head of State (2003) C-95 min. D: Chris Rock. Chris Rock, Bernie Mac, Dylan Baker, Nick Searcy, Lynn Whitfield, Robin Givens, Tamala Jones, James Rebhorn, Keith David, Tracy Morgan, Stephanie March, Robert Stanton, Nate Dogg, Funkmaster Flex. Amusing farce as Rock, an alderman, picked to run for President of the United States after the original presidential candidate dies in a plane crash two months before the election. Obviously, he is being set up to lose, but (of course) begins winning over the people. Several laugh-out-loud moments and a funny performance by both Rock and Mac. However, Givens' stalker ex-girlfriend character is completely unnecessary and just plain sick as opposed to funny. RATING: 7 out of 10. Rated PG-13 for sexual innuendoes, profanity, adult themes, violence.
