-Chris
Rock
Celebrated
comedian-writer-actor-talk
show
host
Chris
Rock
can
now
add
film
director
to
his
resume.
Cowritten
by
Rock
and
Ali
LeRoi,
HEAD
OF
STATE
follows
an
unassuming
Washington
D.C.
alderman,
Mays
Gilliam
(Rock),
as
he
finds
himself
embroiled
in a
presidential
election.
Just
weeks
before
the
nation
is
about
to
elect
a
new
president,
one
of
the
top
candidates
is
killed
in a
plane
crash.
Plotting
a
future
run
in
2008,
Senator
Bill
Arnot
(James
Rebhorn)
convinces
his
staff--Debra
Lassiter
(Lynn
Whitfield)
and
Martin
Geller
(Dylan
Baker)--to
pick
a
replacement
who
has
no
chance
of
winning.
But
he
gets
more
than
he
bargained
for
when
he
selects
Mays.
At
first
merely
thankful
to
be
in
the
spotlight,
Mays
plays
the
puppet,
but
eventually,
he
uses
his
power
to
actually
say
something
meaningful.
And
when
he
selects
his
bail
bondsman
brother,
Mitch
(Bernie
Mac),
to
be
his
running
mate,
everyone
is
shocked
to
discover
that
Mays
is
giving
the
people
exactly
what
they
want.
Rock
uses
his
natural
ability
to
blend
humor
and
substance
as a
director,
resulting
in
an
entertaining
film
that
pushes
buttons
without
leaving
too
deep
a
mark.
