A comedy starring Chris Rock is the crown jewel of the May 22-28 Paramount Plus program.
On Sunday, May 28th, Paramount Plus will add Top Five to its available content. Written and directed by esteemed comedian Rock, the story follows a successful comedian and film star who grapples with his career, personal life and desire to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor after being savaged by a New York Times critic. Everyone seems to have a piece of the comedian, but he unexpectedly teams up with a journalist to make a documentary about the Haitian revolution.
Top Five premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was critically acclaimed for its sharp humor, insightful commentary on the entertainment industry, and Rock’s standout performance. The theatrical release began on December 12, 2014 and ended up grossing $26 million at the box office. Rock made his directorial debut with 2003’s Head of State, followed by 2007’s I Think I Love My Wife, but it was only thanks to Top Five that he received some critical acclaim for his work as a director. Ironically, this is also the latest film Rock has directed to date, focusing instead on his career as an actor and comedian.
“Top Five” features an ensemble cast that includes Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, Cedric the Entertainer, JB Smoove, Tracy Morgan, Kevin Hart, Anders Holm, Jay Pharoah, Michael Che, Sherri Shepherd and Leslie Jones.
