Chris Rock is at his rude, ribald and raucous best in the laugh-out-loud Top Five, a deliriously funny film that looks destined to be a box office hit. Written, directed and starting Rock, the film mines similar territory to Woody Allen at his younger best – sex, comedy, paranoia, insecurity and more sex – but with a much rawer and uncensored edge.
...the always wonderful Rosario Dawson

Following an electrifying Toronto premiere, Top Five should find its way to the top of many a distributor’s wish list, with both critical and box office success more or less guaranteed.
...allowing Dawson to reveal a comic range we’ve never seen before.

Before the world premiere of “Top Five,” the new film written by, directed by and starring Chris Rock, there was a feel of real energy in the room at Toronto’s Princess of Wales theaters Saturday night. It was the expectant energy one might find at a music concert or, more appropriately, a high-profile stand-up comedy show. And that energy level remained throughout the night, as the film played to strong laughter and kept the audience engaged all the way through. Among the higher profile titles at this year's fest, don't be surprised by a distribution deal announcement very soon.

Chris Rock's 'Top Five' is simply a comedy smash that leaves you breathlessly wanting more.
With all due respect to Rock's achievement, a special mention has to go to Dawson's fine work here. From her underrated turn in Danny Boyle’s "Trance" to "25th Hour" to even "Seven Pounds," she has shown signs of having a truly great performance in her back pocket. There is something about her collaboration with Rock, perhaps the New York setting or just a well-written character, that proves she's an actress who needs to be taken seriously. She likely won’t receive any special awards or honors for it, but Rock isn’t the only one who hits a creative peak in "Top Five."
Usher's ''Yeah!'' feels so out of place in the ''Confessions'' album, and even more after the intro It is easy to notice that it was recorded after the album was finished
One thread questioning Madonna's success (although it was a compliment comparing her to Marilyn) and:

What a bizarre cult
It was a genuine question too lol. It stemmed from the "Actors vs Musicians" thread.
