When the party stops

Top Five (2014)

Written & directed by as well as staring Chris Rock this film also features Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union and Cedric the Entertainer. On the eve of his wedding to a reality television star a comedian trying to promote his new film about a slave uprising spends the day being interviewed.

There is plenty to enjoy about this honest insight into the world of celebrity and it contains many funny moments through out. Towards the end the story might nudge a little towards the sentimental but otherwise it's a fairly well told story with a hint of Richard Linklater's before trilogy about it. All the cast are good and there is a great depth in the supporting roles.


4/5
