Review of Top Five (2014) by Meredith W — 24 Feb 2016
In this somewhat autobiographical work, Andre Allen (Chris Rock) is a big time stand-up comedian from New York. After having made a trilogy of big hit comedies he decides to become a serious actor. Back in New York for the premiere of his first serious movie, he agrees to be followed and interviewed in depth by N.
Y. Times reporter, Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson) as he also deals with his upcoming wedding to a reality TV star (Gabrielle Union). The film features a host of SNL figures, who are all terrific. The movie was written and directed by Chris Rock, who won a Hollywood Film Award for Best Comedy Film for his efforts.
While it is funny, especially with the addition of comedians like Jerry Seinfeld to the cast, I don't know that this level of accolade is entirely deserved.
