With the wedding looming, Andre has to carve out a day for press commitments in conjunction with the opening of Uprize. He's now been sober for years and is about to marry Erica Long (Gabrielle Union) in a ceremony that is being planned in detail for a reality television show on Bravo.
The reinvention has coincided with Allen's recovery from alcohol addiction. Instead of making people laugh, he's now trying to inspire them with uplifting stories like his latest film, Uprize, a drama about the Haitian Revolution.
Allen's career has taken a new direction of late.

The comic plays Andre Allen, a stand-up comedian turned movie star who has enjoyed a number of successes, most notably a trilogy of action-comedies in which he played, in costume, Hammy the Bear, an ursine police officer. His first movie as lone credited writer and third in the director's chair, this comedy asks to be taken seriously and was by critics, who gave Rock some of the best film reviews of his career. Rock seems determined to raise his artistic profile with Top Five, which makes the first compelling case for him to carry auteur status. Rock's biggest hits in film have come when he's a part of something bigger, from the Madagascar franchise to the two Grown Ups movies to Lethal Weapon 4. He's acted in dozens of movies over the past thirty years, but none of them strike you as "Chris Rock movies" to rival his work in stand-up and on television.Įven when Rock himself is writing and/or directing, as he did on vehicles like Head of State and I Think I Love My Wife, the results have generally been unfavorable critically and unremarkable commercially. Despite that, he doesn't have a bunch of film credits you'd recommend to someone just discovering him. Chris Rock has long been considered one of the biggest and most successful people in comedy.
