Top Five

2014 · 102 min

A funny, honest day-in-the-life walk through New York that mixes sharp laughs with real vulnerability and self-reflection.

Directed by: Chris Rock
Genres: Drama, Comedy, Romance
Starring: Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, JB Smoove

Overview: Though he began in stand-up comedy, Andre Allen hit the big-time as the star of a trilogy of action-comedies about a talking bear but now he wants to be taken seriously. His passion project about the Haitian Revolution, a movie called Uprize, was panned by the NY Times film critic. A couple days before the wedding to his reality star fiancée, he's forced to spend the day with Chelsea Brown, a profile writer for the New York Times. Unexpectedly, he opens up to her, and as they wind their way across New York, he tries to get back in touch with his comedic roots.
