| | Head of State (2003): Chris Rock, Bernie Mac, Lynne Whitfield, Dylan Baker - PopMatters Film Review |
 | | And oh yes, he stars too, as DC Alderman Mays Gilliam, a mostly well-intentioned, mostly ineffectual local organizer who becomes a tv hero when he saves an old lady and her cat from a building about to be razed by heartless contractors. |
 | | Now that he's headed somewhere, she appears at all sorts of functions, disguised as a marching band member or a questioner at the Presidential Debate, planning their wedding out loud until he yells, "Security," and a fl-gloved hand swoops into frame, covers her mouth, and drags her off. |
 | | As crossover-dreamy as it is, Head of State may just grant him enough industry clout to drag it - the industry -- along with him. |
