"Top Five": Movie Review


By Andrew Carter
     Pulsing with the rhythm of his greatest stand-up, Chris Rock's TOP FIVE takes things to the next level, revealing the high and the low, and blending a star-studded comedic romp with an irresistible romance. TOP FIVE digs under the surface of show business, politics, rap, and holding it all up to the light in the way only Chris Rock can. 

     Mingling echoes of Woody Allen and Dick Gregory with the energy of Kanye West and Jay Z, TOP FIVE is an original and radically new kind of American movie. Written, directed by, and starring Chris Rock, TOP FIVE tells the story of New York City comedian-turned-film star Andre Allen, whose unexpected encounter with a journalist (Rosario Dawson) forces him to confront the comedy career and the past that he's left behind.


      The only confusing part of the movie was that the plot line was not always there. During the movie it kind of drifted off of from what it was supposed to be. Also there are some parts that are not suitable for immature children. Over all I would give the rating an 8.5.
