Of all of the movies I have seen during this recent spell of
movie outings, Top Five was above and
beyond my favorite viewing experience.
Admittedly, the plot was rather predictable, but Top Five was more about the journey rather than the destination and
the journey was both humorous and touching.
But, it must be said that one should have some grasp on hip-hop culture
in order to truly understand the touching moments and to enjoy many of the
humorous moments. In other words, Top Five may not appeal to certain
segments of our society that view the hip-hop culture in a negative matter or black
culture in general, which is disheartening because I found Top Five to be so enjoyable.
Anyways, there are number of fantastic cameos from a number
of established and upcoming stand-up comedians and to be frank; this was
probably the funniest Adam Sandler has been in some time. Honestly, I shouldn’t have to say it, but
yes, Top Five was worth the price of
admission and if you are looking for a good laugh during the holiday season and
don’t mind some raunchiness (because there are a couple sequences that involve
nudity), then I would highly recommend Top
Five.
