From America's greatest beardsman, to Morgan Spurlock's own mustache, Executive Producers Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Ben Silverman bring us a hilarious look at men's identity in the 21st century. Models, actors, experts and comedians weigh in on what it is to be a man in a world where the definition of masculinity has become as diverse as a hipster's facial hair in Williamsburg. The hilarious follicles of men's idiosyncratic grooming habits are thoroughly combed over as men finally take a long hard look in the mirror.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The movie purports to be a lighthearted look at changing notions of masculinity and appearance. But unless you find something intrinsically hilarious about a man getting a pedicure, laughs are scarce.

rotten:
As documentaries go, this is lip gloss.

rotten:
There's no real center to the film's potentially insightful topic, with Spurlock never zeroing in on a cohesive message.

It's more first-person journal and travelogue than it is cultural archaeology, and as such it's basically OK.

An amusing if slight look at the grooming, preening and stylistic ways of the 21st century man.
