I read interviews of Chris Rock about his film, Top Five, which he wrote and directed, in which he said he loved Woody Allen. You can see it in this film.
Top Five is about a comedian who, in his bid to be taken seriously, has done a movie about the slave uprising in Haiti where lots of white people were killed. The comedian is spending the day doing promotional stops with a New York Times reporter tailing him in order to write a profile/review. The comedian is also engaged to a reality TV star and is about the be married in a televised wedding. In this one day, he tries to find out who he is and what he is about.
Chris Rock is most everyone's favorite comedian. He's not really any one's favorite director. I'm kind of interested in what he'll be doing for the future. I wonder if he'll follow in Woody Allen's footsteps. He may become an interesting director.
My top 5: De La, Tribe, Rakim, Grand Puba, Guru.
3 of 5 stars.
