Head of State

Chris Rock co-wrote, directed, and stars in this uproarious comic outing as Mays Gilliam, an obscure alderman who is selected to run for president when the current frontrunner dies tragically. Nominated as a sure-fire loser to eliminate competition for a shady senator, Mays shocks everyone when he begins to gain popularity and becomes an actual contender. Can he and brother/running mate Mitch (Bernie Mac) turn the tide and make it to the White House? With Dylan Baker, Robin Givens, and Tracy Morgan. 95 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, French Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Spanish.
