Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn a 2012 interview with International Business Times, Morgan Spurlock revealed that the scenes with Will Arnett and Jason Bateman were completely improvised: "All of their scenes were shot last. We went to the spa for the day and filmed them going from station to station and getting different treatments. We knew the different segments that we wanted to shoot and we filmed them having multiple conversations."
- Quotes
Michael Kimmel: Really, masculinity is performed for the evaluative eyes of other men. It's really other men who we really need to validate, check us out, what, you know, legitimate our sort of performance of masculinity.

Featured review
Mansome - brief
Sheesh, another Morgan Spurlock documentary. Male grooming - appearance - how men behold themselves - females point of view. Shallow work here, that skittered from one topic to another and lingered too long on marginal aspects (eg: the beard competition). Beards, mustaches, haircuts, toupees, all discussed for no apparent point. Men have always grown or worn those - who cares? Section of the product "Fresh Balls" was funny as anything. Also the older male comments that the current fad for body shaving is turning men into Barbie dolls. Film should have followed that path. Instead this is a time waster with no focus. Spurlock strikes me as more agreeable than Michael Moore, probably better to have a drink with. His output, however, causes me to think he is running out of things to say.
