Review of Top Five (2014) by Averagedude — 12 Dec 2014
The commercials, trailers and even seeing Chris Rock on talk shows make it seem like it's a fast paced, joke fest. it's not. While it has runs of fast paced jokes, the majority of the movie is a simple romance comedy. If you don't guess the outcome of the movie before it's half over, then you've never seen a predictable rom-com.
When you see all of the talent listed who co-star in this movie, it's hard to think it wouldn't be funny. You would be right, when THEY are on screen, Rock comes alive and the movie is laugh out loud funny. The problem is, THEY are on screen for literally 5 to 10 minutes out of the 102 minute run time.
Don't blink near the end or you might just miss Seinfeld, Sandler & Woopi, in a sequence that looks "tacked on" at the last minute. It adds nothing... except their name to the poster, too bad, I was hoping for more.
If you are looking for a date movie, this might be for you (make sure you date is up for nudity and sexual situations). Wait to rent this one for a dollar if you can.
