Top Five lined up a powerhouse of comedy Who’s Who, from Whoopee, Ben Vereen, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, and Cedric the Entertainer to Sherri Shepherd, J.B Smoove, Traci Morgan, and Kevin Hart, and a whole lot more. I laughed. Don’t get me wrong, but I wanted to laugh more than the movie delivered punch lines. It was a semi-serious movie.
Pan over to Annie, not orphan Annie as 10-year old Annie insisted. The A-listers Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz put Emmy-worthy performances. Not to be outdone, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and spunky Quvenzhanè Wallis brought in A-list worthy performances.
But what do these two movies have in common? Jay-Z!!! Unbeknownst to me (and I always wait for the credits), Jay-Z co-produced both movies. He co-produced Top Five with Kanye West and co-produced Annie with Will and Jada Smith!
You go, Jay-Z! I am impressed.
My top five are–
Michael Jackson
Prince
Maxwell
Barry White and
Teddy Pendergrass, in that order.
What is your top five?
