Warning: Spoilers
Andre Allan (Chris Rock) is a top comedian who now wants to be a serious actor. The fact is he sucks at being an actor and since he has become sober, he can't do comedy. In the days leading up to his marriage, Andre grants a long in depth interview to a NYT reporter (Rosario Dawson) who travels with him for a few days in what quickly becomes a formula film.

The film is good because it is reflective of the African-American in the modern world going from rags to riches through Hollywood. Sometimes you just can't be good at everything. The top five refers to naming the top 5 rappers, a game they play during the film. The movie has a number of star cameo appearances. It has funny scenes, although not overly original.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.
