Review of Top Five (2014) by Dcedmonds — 06 Apr 2015
"Top Five" 10 Scale Rating: 7.5 (Very Good) ...
The Good: For the most part, Rock and his supporting cast are funny without going over the top. The film also has dramatic and serious elements that are very well done. Rock himself shows a lot more range than we're used to seeing from him and he pulls it off. Rock's dialogue is one of the best parts of the film as he comes across as genuinely funny (as well as sincere) with very little effort. The film has a slew of entertaining cameos, some of which I didn't see coming. One of the better comedies of 2014.
The Bad: At times it does feel a little longer than it's 1:41 runtime, partially due to a couple of slow stretches. There is a scene or two that are unnecessarily raunchy. I don't mind a little raunchiness in my comedies, but these scenes felt forced.
