How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Bryan: Loved by critics, but sadly ignored come awards season. “Top Five” is a brilliant, well written, well directed comedy not good enough for you Mr. Oscar? Rock is slowly, secretly making an interesting little collection of movies. It’s time we looked beyond the stand-up and appreciate Chris Rock the filmmaker!
