I
watched the movie Top Five starring Chris Rock and Rosario Dawson as
well as a shit ton of Black actors and comedians the other night as
well as today with my cousin Jasmine. I had heard of this movie but
had no desire to see it but while scanning Amazon stumbled on it and
began laughing minutes into it. This is about a former comedian and
actor named Andre Allen that starred in a cheesy ass movie franchise
called Hammy The Bear trying to get into more serious roles while
battling an alcohol addiction problem and the fact that he is about
to marry a reality show star that is obviously using him as a
stepping stone.
Dawson
plays a reporter named Chelsea Brown that has to interview him. He
has no desire to since the paper she works for has ripped him apart
at every turn. She spends time with him, his friends, his family, and
watches as he struggles to prove that he is more than a guy in a bear
suit or comedian. All anyone wants is another Hammy movie. Andre
finds out about Chelsea's personal life (more than she wants him or
anyone else to) and there is an attraction that happens. This movie
sounds like a basic premise but the entire cast makes it work well.
Check this out if you get the chance.
