This was the worst movie ever. There were good actor and actresses that lower than standards to be in this movie. Was sick ok the "N" word wasn't funny in the least bit.

I will never see a Chris Rock film ever again. Cedric the ET'er and Tracy Morgan were the funniest things. They are 5 minutes of the film. Long gaps between laughs. Everything happens in 1 day? Totally stupid ending. I thought this was it,I will never see a Chris Rock film ever again. Cedric the ET'er and Tracy Morgan were the funniest things. They are 5 minutes of the film.

Do you enjoy mediocre racist humor, tasteless sex scenes, and long stretches where nothing happens? Then, by all means, go see Top Five. However, if you have any actual taste, then avoid this movie like the plague.

However, if you have any actual taste, then avoid this movie like the plague. I went to see this with a few buddies, expecting to get at least a few chuckles, but after about an hour of stale jokes, we had to walk out, For many parts, there isn't even anything that resembles a joke. Not to mention the disgusting sex scenes that have no comedic value and drag on much longer than they should. I have no idea why this movie is being praised so much, probably because the "progressive" Rock "tackles" issues about race (in a way that would get a white actor kicked out of the film industry if they tried the same thing), but it isn't worth an instant of your time, not even a rental.… Expand

You can wait to see this movie on DVD. Some laughs. Fine with the heterosexual ranchiness (funny and got the point across).

Fine with the heterosexual ranchiness (funny and got the point across). The use of the N word (cringe worthy - really unnecessary) the first 30 minutes (and then none after that) demonstrates the lack of substance in this movie and writing. Chris Rock doesn't pick on people in the audience for his standup - why the use of the N word? He himself uses the word to describe black people. I'm paying to be insulted? There was more N word than other foul language by many of the comedians. Geez whiz! Good writing allows you to stay out of the sewer. Storyline reminded of a previous Rock movie with Kerry Washington and Gina Torres. Many placements of comedians with many laughs but again Rock misses the connection between story lines. Waiting for another standup movie from Chris Rock once I find out I won't be insulted. Stick to standup Chris. Signed James Nielsen. (BTW - after the outstanding review for American Hustle everywhere online it seems now most critics are getting paid so watch for real reviews - not the ones by paid critcs)… Expand

We walked out after 1/2 hour of total boredom. It is amazing that anyone would find this movie funny. If you really want to waste time and money, this is the flick to see.

User reviews are right on and say it quite eloquently. Critic reviews are disappointing at best and are pandering and/or afraid to say the truth. Let's be brutally frank and open up the discussion. If a white man wrote this movie andUser reviews are right on and say it quite eloquently. Critic reviews are disappointing at best and are pandering and/or afraid to say the truth. Let's be brutally frank and open up the discussion. If a white man wrote this movie and stereotyped the way Rock did, he would be blasted. Deadbeat dad; money hungry, star seeking, empty headed ho for a fiance; jewish friends who literally talk and throw money at strippers; (Seinfeld shows true arrogant, self absorbed, narcissistic self); ghetto acting friends stuffed into the projects filled with fat wives, kids running around and more deadbeat dads drinking in the middle of the afternoon expounding on their talents are a few of the stereotypes but there are too many to mention all. Apparently it is OK if Rock is doing it, its not stereotyping, its keeping it real. To add insult to injury, the audience is supposed to believe that Rock, in the course of a day, bears his soul to an interviewer (who yes is an alcoholic too) and in a faux Cinderella moment runs back to her at the end of a day with a Satin shoe to seal the deal. The crap the audience has to sit through to get to this fairy tale ending is outrageous, but not funny. There is an orgy with two hookers, Cedric and Rock himself, complete with visuals and sound effects, It is not pretty and pointless. Rock, like his comedian friends is completely self absorbed and is affronted that his movie release about Hatian rebels is not taken seriously. I guess this is a parody on the idea that black entertainers need to be making a political statement to appease their own. Anyway, it is a sham of a movie that seemed carelessly thrown together. It is sad that in this day and age, we still need this kind of "in your face" insult of a movie to get a point across. It is true that the black voice is missing. However, if Shondra Rimes can do it, so can a person of Chris Rock's stature and talent. I felt cheated at the end of this movie. Chris, it was a cheap trick. I expected a lot more.… Expand

Just to give you some background - I have not walked out of a movie in probably 7 or 8 years, and I think Chris Rock is probably the greatest stand up comedian of all time. That being said, this is one of the most god awful movies I haveJust to give you some background - I have not walked out of a movie in probably 7 or 8 years, and I think Chris Rock is probably the greatest stand up comedian of all time. That being said, this is one of the most god awful movies I have ever seen and I did in fact walk out of the movie after about 1 hour 30min or so, I just couldn't stay any longer. The fact that this movie got great reviews once again shows how unbelievably low our standards for a good comedic movie have become.

I have to say first and foremost, the movie is shockingly unfunny. Seriously, I think I laughed once or twice. There's a storyline involving a gay character that I found to be done in extremely poor taste as well. Not only was it offensive, but it was really just not funny at all and pretty gross (not because of the gay activity, but because it was just plainly gross for no other reason than to be gross). If you're gonna go for low brow dumb humor at least make sure people laugh. The story is incredibly contrived, Chris Rock's acting has always kinda sucked, and Rosario Dawson really isn't a very strong actress, she never has been and she mainly plays the same character in every thing she does. The storyline gets dumber and dumber and less funny and less funny, and eventually downright boring and painstakingly pedestrian. Please, for the love of god people, we should demand more out of the comedic geniuses of this world, this was NOT a decent movie, not even remotely close!… Expand

This was one of the worse movies ive ever seen. Not a laugh to be found.
Poor story. Bad production. Horrible acting.
I'm not kidding. Not one laugh at all in this movie. We walked out after an hour an fifteen minutes.
Avoid this disaster.
