Top Five

Pulsing with the rhythm of his greatest stand-up, Chris Rock's Top Five takes things to the next level, reveling in the high and the low, and blending a star-studded comedic romp with an irresistible romance. Top Five digs under the surface of show business, politics, rap, and the exigencies of being black and famous today - holding it all up to the light in the way only Chris Rock can. Mingling echoes of Woody Allen and Dick Gregory with the energy of Kanye West and Jay Z, Top Five is an original and radically new kind of American movie. Written, directed by, and starring Chris Rock, Top Five tells the story of New York City comedian-turned-film star Andre Allen, whose unexpected encounter with a journalist (Rosario Dawson) forces him to confront the comedy career--and the past--that he’s left behind.

This movie was pretty much wrongly advertised.  I thought that this was almost like a documentary about comedians.  I had no idea that it was a fictional character with some comedians playing themselves.  The fictional portion of the story although somewhat based on actual comedians was very well developed with the banter back and forth and made the movie a much more enjoyable and funnier watch than I thought it would be.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  Again - I expected something totally different and this ended up being a much better movie than I thought it would.
