If the trailer for Chris Rock’s new movie, Top Five, is any indication of how entertaining the full feature will be, get ready to laugh ’till your stomach hurts. Watch the trailer plus get more details, after the click.
Critics are already saying that Chris Rock‘s new movie, Top Five, set to release nationwide on December 12, 2014, is both serious and seriously funny. The film (written and directed by Rock) was picked up by Paramount Pictures (which secured rights for distribution for $12.5 million USD) and stars more than a few Hollywood and comedy heavyweights including Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Cedric the Entertainer, Rosario Dawson, Tracy Morgan, J.B. Smoove, Sherri Shepherd, Jay Pharoah, Whoopi Goldberg, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld and more.
The casting sounds amazing and equally as cool is the fact that Jay Z and Kanye West are credited as Co-Producers while Questlove, from the Roots, is the films executive movie producer. It’s like a movie made in hip hop heaven.
I won’t dish too much on the storyline; watch the trailer below to get a taste:
Rotten Tomatoes has given the film a rating of 92% and Metacritic has given it a score of 93 out of 100, indicating “universal acclaim”. Do you think it will be a hit?
