Rock is no actor, but he rides a wave of funny, self-aware and outrageous situations, and this is always watchable. May 7, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Big laughs and believable vulnerability. But it also has aged faster than Indiana Jones Nazis unable to spot the cup of a carpenter and relies on truly retrograde eye-rolling plot turns about reporters' motives. June 24, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Featuring the funniest sex scene since Team America, and a film-stealing cameo from an unexpected rapper, Top Five is such an enjoyable watch that it's easy to ignore how slick and clever it often is. May 10, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Rock's script isn't afraid to get raunchy, sometimes a little too much, but there is a bit of heart at the center. Dawson and Rock have the chemistry to make it work, even when it feels a little contrived. January 25, 2019 | Full Review…
