Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Clifton Johnson This movie started unevenly: odd cameos and unreal moments. The longer it went, the more I cared. Rock managed to make this character an actual person in actual moments. That's when it got funny. And worth watching. Here's hoping Chris Rock builds from here.
szopeno In short, it was the worst comedy I watched within last three years. Now, to be honest, I am not a native speaker (as you can easily guess reading this review), so I watched it in Polish, so it could be that indeed in original there were some funny bits. It may be also that there is, as some people say, chemistry in original. But it was all lost in the translation. It all feel fake, terribly boring, with few bits thrown it to justify calling this... thing... a comedy.But I do not think it all can be blamed on translation. I've watched dozens of French, English, Russian, Czech and even Chinese comedies and I laughed. Here... I just kept looking at the watch to see how much it is left.Awful. Toxic. Avoid it.
elect1407 This movie made absolutely no sense! First let me say that I'm not a big fan of comedies, but I have loved just about every Chris Rock movie until this one. For me Top Five was painful to watch. I was thirty minutes in and was begging for the movie to be over already. The only thing that worked for me was the chemistry between Chris Rock and the female co-star. I thought that their storyline was pretty good at times. But other than that this movie was dry. I feel that this was Rock's poor attempt to give us an inside look into his personal struggles, as if we care. And the title "Top Five" makes no sense. I still don't understand the point of him having a conversation with his friends in the middle of the movie about their Top Five rappers. That whole scene should have been a Youtube video instead of a scene in a senseless movie because it had absolutely nothing to do with the movie. There were many elements in this movie that had nothing to do with each other which is why I only gave it 2 stars.
namashi_1 Chris Rock's 'Top Five' is Good Comedic Fun! Entertaining & Well-Worded, this recent sleeper hit, is certainly worth watching.'Top Five' Synopsis: A comedian tries to make it as a serious actor when his reality-TV star fiancée talks him into broadcasting their wedding on her TV show.Rock's Screenplay, which is a subtle commentary on Hollywood & its Madness, is entertaining & well-worded. I loved the dialogue, it's very realistic & believable. Rock's Direction is efficient at all times, as well. Cinematography, Editing & Costume Design, are passable.Performance-Wise: Rock, expectedly, dominates the show. He's energetic all through. Rosario Dawson is in top-form after a hiatus. Cedric the Entertainer is hilarious in his bit, while Sherri Shepherd stands out. Others lend good support.On the whole, 'Top Five' works!
