“Top Five” is shaping up to be Chris Rock’s tour de force, and he’s bringing all of his comedian friends along for the ride! In this new clip from “Top Five,” you can see his character Andre and his friends–played by Sherri Shepherd, Leslie Jones, Michael Che and Tracy Morgan–which of the all-time great rappers he’d have in his Top Five.
“Top Five,” written, directed by Rock and starring Rock, tells the story of a comedian who is prompted to reflect on his life and career. The film also stars Rosario Dawson, Jerry Seinfeld, Whoopi Goldberg, Kevin Hart, Adam Sandler, Romany Malco, Hayley Marie Norman, J.B. Smoove, Ben Vereen and Cedric The Entertainer.
“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.”
