How to Be a Man is a 2013 American comedy film directed by Chadd Harbold and starring Gavin McInnes.
It tells the story of an ex-comedian who mistakenly believes that he is dying from breast cancer, and therefore makes a video with advice for his unborn son.
The film premiered on August 10, 2013 at the Sundance Next Weekend in Los Angeles.

... With his extensive media background, Vice Magazine co-founder, comedian and ad-man McInnes would seem to be a savvy commentator on contemporary male foibles, but Man's litany of life lessons turns out to have variable appeal when reduced to their lowest common denominators of sex, partying and bodily functions.
