Review of Top Five

Top Five (2014)
7/10
More serious than I expected but liked it

Warning: Spoilers
My wife and I saw the film and we both liked it. Not hysterically funny, but we simply both liked it. Really funny scenes - his visit to his family in projects, his cutting of the radio station promo, the montage of radio station interviews, scene of his movie playing in a theater, Cedric The Entertainer's cameo. Lots of cameos add to the fun. JB Smoove was really good as his lifelong friend/assistant. Didn't recognize Ben Vereen - shame on me, but he was good in his cameo. Funny line in beginning from Rock's character about benefit of an Asian-American president - people talking on either side of us throughout film likely missed it. As I said, had more serious moments than expected, but I like Chris Rock's stand-up. I hope he doesn't ever quit doing stand-up, though.
