"I went into this thinking I'd have a lot of laughs looking at people with funny hair. I did, all the way through, but my sense of humor went through a transition from laughing at the subjects of the film, to laughing at how we as a society (me included) put so much meaning into a person's appearance. Why are we so touchy about how others look, especially when it comes to what we consider to be the extreme in bad taste? I still think mullets look ugly on most people (there were a few people who actually wore that look very well!). But there is a deeper ugliness in those who chose to look down on others that they consider tacky or silly. Perhaps the mullet is one of the last bastions of American individualism. It's what makes our culture so diverse and interesting. This film is a wonderful celebration of that!"

More effective than a sedative!

"This is a great documentary. It shows the vast range of people who sport the mullet hair-style, from rockers to lesbians to motorcyclists to soccer players... It is a nonjudgmental look at a cult hairstyle. Highly entertaining without mocking the film's subjects."
