Top Five Reviews
'Top Five' is a must, for Rock's career and comedy fans both.
It's a familiar structure that Rock juggles well and fills with sharp, smart, and often hilarious take on the mid-life crisis of an artist caught between public expectations, private ambitions and anxieties, and professional compromises and commitments.
An absolute embarrassment of riches.
Rock and Dawson spark in long, uncut scenes of dialogue that echo Before Midnight. Flirting and sparring throughout the film, they are at the heart of the story but Rock has populated the movie with other interesting characters and cameos.
On one hand, it's an insightful examination of fame and artistic freedom. On the other, it's a sexual comedy of the most obscene nature.
Top Five...finally gives Rock the filmic vehicle he has needed since he tried to transition to the screen.
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.
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.
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.
Let's hope that this wasn't just a one-off for the comedian, but something tells me that he has much more to say.
Though Rock is funny throughout the film, the story would have collapsed in the absence of the cameos.
A weirdly hollow story that is neither funny enough nor moving enough.
The film, like Rock, is impressive, gritty, real to the bone and sidesplittingly funny.
This is not only the best movie thing accomplished stand-up comic Chris Rock will probably ever do. It is also one of the coolest and most endearing rom-coms of the past few years.
This movie attacks comedy in so many various ways: snark, sarcasm, quips, one-lines, everything on such an intellectual level, especially if you know the pop culture references being made via certain moments in hip-hop or mainstream media.
Chris Rock bleeds many elements of his stand-up comedy routine into a person that is simply sick and tired of being famous for lowbrow pandering slapstick comedy, possibly like himself
I went into Chris Rock's Top Five with a checklist of expectations, and I am happy to say that my expectations were met, and even exceeded in places.
To watch this film is to see Chris [Rock]'s - and every comedian's - turbulent, messy, passionate, longstanding romance with his craft
Top Five does the trick.
Overall, I appreciate what this film does in showcasing a more serious Chris Rock. I think it's his best film to date.
