Overall, I appreciate what this film does in showcasing a more serious Chris Rock. I think it's his best film to date.

Top Five gives us a glimpse of [Rock's] comic genius. Just a tad.

He finds a cinematic approximation of his act: free-flowing, unpredictable, personal, spiced up with pop cultural references, political shout-outs, and a decidedly hip-hop energy, and above all else, funny as hell.

Top Five is hardly in the same class as Stardust Memories but it is still manifestly cinema, rather than filmed comedy, and the gags are often visually sophisticated.

Beneath the meta-fiction and the lulz lies a genuinely warm romance in the style of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise.

Rock's crass reliance on misogynist hooker gags and hot-sauce-up-the-ass homophobia routines means that an Adam Sandler cameo hardly seems out of place.

Audience Reviews for Top Five

Jan 19, 2016Rumored to be a Woody Allen-esque Chris Rock movie, "Top Five" IS a pretty walky-talky journey between a B-list comedian with A-list aspirations and the journalist interviewing him, but I'm not really sure about the relevance of the inciting task of ranking one's top five favorite rap artists. The scope of the interview is more expansive than that. Chris Rock and Rosario Dawson eventually create some tragically beautiful missed-connection chemistry, but the movie is too slow throughout and too afraid to let the intimate conversation carry itself.Alice S Super Reviewer

Aug 18, 2015One of the funnier comedies I have seen this year. I did not like the story that much, but delivers some good laughs and a good cast. The end was heartwarming though.Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Apr 08, 2015The plot is often forced and seems unnecessary, especially since the film is at it's best during the rambling conversations between Rock and Dawson (or anyone else for that matter).Alec B Super Reviewer

Mar 26, 2015This is a very unique and intriguing movie. Chris Rock's social awareness while writing this part-satirical/part-meta screenplay really pays off as it explores the life of reality stars/celebrities and their on and off screen personas. There are some hilarious moments, but "interesting" or "charming" are better ways to describe this movie. The cameos are also very nice. This film is Rock solid work.Sanjay R Super Reviewer
