Bereamic Awesome Movie

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

adonis98-743-186503 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. Top Five is one of those overrated comedies that ends up getting good reviews but when the audiences finally see it they can clearly see it's flaws and damn this movie has a lot of them. First of all it ain't funny and i actually like Chris Rock as an actor but in this film? He seems like a total pro, second of all it's disgusting with way too many sex scenes that are supposed to be funny and a guy that bends his butt so Rosario Dawson can f*ck him for some reason this is the kind of "clever" humor we're introduced to, third of all it has cameos that simply don't work such as Adam Sandler's and Whoopi Goldberg's Cameo in the Club it just wasn't funny it rather was sad because of the paycheck that they both needed it so badly and last but not least it was goddamn boring and the characters were just not interesting and sorry to disappoint some people out there but this movie ain't good not even one bit.

danielrowntree This movie is actually very good....Chris Rock is epic at delivering his one-liner's through out this as though he's in standup mode, it's well shot, its funny and has a hint of NYC-esque Woody Allen moments throughout...It deals well with reality TV crap behind the scenes and has epic cameo's from Jerry Seinfeld to Tracy Morgan, some references will get lost on you if you don't have a basic understanding of African American history and Hip Hop but I can honestly say Chris Rock is very good as is most of the cast...Haters gonna hate but then check how many other negative reviews they do....I bought this on DVD...!More of these I say...:)

leonblackwood Review: This movie felt more like a documentary than a feature film because it's about Chris Rock going around New York with a journalist before he's due to get married to his money hungry girlfriend. Whilst going around New York introducing his family and friends to the journalist, he questions his ability to be a comedian because a lot of his previous work was done when he was an alcoholic. He decides to take on a serious film about slavery but it doesn't really go down well with his fans. With all of the pressure of stardom surrounding him, Chris Rock finds his true self when he sees the comedians on stage and the laughter from the audience makes him feel right at home. Personally, I really didn't find this movie that funny and a lot of the script is totally pointless. You can definitely tell that Chris Rock wrote and directed this movie because of the usual black jokes and the whole top five rappers of all time theme but the film felt like it was going nowhere right from the beginning. I've always found Chris Rocks comedy quite annoying, along with his squeaky voice, so I should have known what to expect before I watched it. I liked the fact that he brought loads of other comedians into the project and the scenes with his family were quite funny but I was expecting much better from a comedian that has been in the game since the early 80's. Disappointing!Round-Up: Although I didn't really enjoy this film, it's always good to see a man make a profit in the tough movie world. At the unbelievable age of 50, Chris Rocks acting career started in 1985 in a movie called Krush Groove, as a person just standing in the street and then he progressed to actually having lines in Beverly Hills Cop II in 1987 with his idol, Eddie Murphy. He then had a brief appearance in Miami Vice in '87 and then he had a role in the very funny I'm Gonna Git You Sucka in '88. If your into black cinema then you will remember him as Pookie in New Jack City in '91 and then his acting career blossomed whilst still going around the clubs performing his stand-up. At the age when black cinema was booming, he starred alongside his idol Eddie Murphy again in Boomerang and played the lead in the funny CB4 which was a comedy that was based on the group NWA. After that he added his voice to Dr. Dolittle as Rodney the gerbil and he had a major role in Lethal Weapon 4 and Dogma. In 2000 he starred alongside Morgan Freeman in Nurse Betty and he played the lead in the disappointing Down to Earth, which didn't go down well with audiences but he bounced back in the popular Pootie Tang, which I found really amusing and he starred alongside Anthony Hopkins in Bad Company. He then starred alongside the late, great Bernie Mac in the disappointing Head of State in 2003, which he also directed and he starred alongside his long time friend Adam Sandler in the Longest Yard. After that he decided to turn to animation and he voiced Marty in the popular Madagascar franchise before directing I Think I Love My Wife in 2007, which I was quite disappointed with. After another Madagascar movie, he narrated Everybody Hates Chris from 2005-2009 and he teamed up with Adam Sandler again in the Grown Ups franchise, which I didn't really find that funny. He also starred alongside some funny stand-up comedians like Martin Lawrence, Tracy Morgan and Kevin Hart in Death at a Funeral and he played the lead in the disappointing 2 Days in New York and What to Expect When Your Expecting after releasing another Madagascar and Grown Ups movie, that finally brings you up to date to this film. You can definitely tell that he has had an amazing career that has grossed over $2Billion at the box office. He didn't take the easiest route to stardom but at 50 years old, he really does have a lot to look back on, in terms of the amount of work he has dedicated to cinema. My hat goes of to him! Budget: $12million Worldwide Gross: $25.5millionI recommend this movie to people who are into their comedy/romance movies about a comedian whose been followed around by a journalist to discuss why he has turned to serious films after being a comedian for so many years. 3/10

tlonuqbar I love this movie (all the reasons in the title) & it's refreshing to see another great serious film /acting from a comedian, it actually contradicts what even Chris Rock said himself"People want comedians to be funny. I mean I love Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) but it ain't a better performance than in Dumb & Dumber (1994). I can do serious roles sometimes in other people's movies but not in one of my own. I don't wanna ask my fans to come and not laugh at me: 'Hey! Come on, let's go see Chris Rock not be funny!' "*KUDOS to C Rock debut as director, waiting for the next one !!! (& by the way JCarrey in ESofSM is just amazing, hate dumb & dumber)*source: IMDb
