Summary: Eminem Displays Talent in New Film
Review: Eminem, probably the most controversial rapper today, who is best known for his highly disturbing lyrics, stars in the first motion picture of his career, 8-mile. Eminem plays Jimmy Smith Jr., a young white rapper trying to make it big in a black dominated area in Detroit near 8-mile road, the barrier that seems to keep him from accomplishing his goals. He struggles trying to deal with home life in a trailer park with a near psychotic mother, as well as earning respect as a white rapper. He attempts to gain recognition for his talent by competing in battles between rappers of the street, he being the only one who's white. The movie seems all too familiar, being somewhat based on Eminem's real life. Kim Basinger plays his mother, Brittany Murphy his "sort of" girlfriend, and Mekkhi Phiffer stars as Future, the DJ of the battles. As all movies do, this one too has its high and low points, but overall 8-mile is a fairly good film, taking critics and moviegoers all over the country by surprise. Eminem proves he actually has acting ability and shows he doesn't qualify to be put into the "singer trying to act" category. He shows depth and emotion in his role with a performance that goes far beyond his otherwise annoying self. Kim Basinger also nails the role of the mother, giving a truly great performance in the film. The film is mostly dramatic but also contains comedy with a few strong, humorous lines delivered throughout. Some downsides are the excessive amount of vulgarity, seeming like every other word out of every characters mouth is a swear word, as well as some pointless scenes in the film that should have been left on the cutting room floor. If vulgarity is hard on your ears, stay as far away from this film as you can. However, an unexpected but highly energetic ending seems to make the whole movie worthwhile. The film goes beyond most people's expectations of what they believe it would be, showing talent as well as a solid plot. The movie is a must see for Eminem fans and anyone who enjoys rap music or entertaining, high intensity films.

Summary: theeee movie!!!
Review: I think that Eminem did excellent job this duty on the film is sewn on him.The premise of 8 Mile is that Eminem plays an aspiring young white rapper nicknamed Bunny Rabbit. Bunny Rabbit just broke up with his girlfriend and moves back into his mother's trailer. He is known to be the most talented rapper from his circle of friends, but froze onstage at a rap battle at the movie's opening. The movie supposedly mirrors much of what happened in Eminem's real life.summarily- I think that Eminem desorve a lot!!!!

Summary: Eminem rocks!
Review: Let's just say yes I am an Eminem fan but he really blew me away in 8 Mile. He has talent as an actor and a musician and he could go a long way in movies if he chooses his roles carefully. I think he did an excellent job and many others agree.

Summary: Great movie!!! Cut Eminem some slack!
Review: When i first saw this movie i thought that it was great, and for people to say that he has no career in acking, that is just bull. This movie (from my point of view) is trying to tell us what it is like to grow up in Detroit, and how hard it is. Some please (if your a decent person WITH a heart) show Eminem so respect for his movie, it was very good, and yes it was better than "Glitter" and "Crossroads" (and people are still giving Mariah, and Britney credit, so do the same with Eminem.

Summary: Really Good, but not Great
Review: 8 Mile is a romanticized biography on Eminem. There may not be an introduction in the movie stating 'based on a true story,' but for anyone remotely familiar with Eminem, the similarities between his life and the movie are obvious. B. Rabbit (Eminem's name in the movie) has a bad life. His home and his family are trash, he's just been dumped by his girlfriend, and he can't get his rap career going. The movie is - of course - about his realization of these things, and what he does to change them. I enjoyed 8 Mile. It's no revolutionary step forward in urban drama, but it's a darn fine movie. With 8 Mile, Eminem has taken another step toward universal acceptance, if not admiration.

Summary: an excellent movie
Review: I saw 8 Mile at the Cinema Grill, so i was able to have a meal while watching the movie. It was what I imagine a drive-in to be like. It was the perfect setting to watch 8 Mile . The premise of 8 Mile is that Eminem plays an aspiring young white rapper nicknamed Bunny Rabbit. B Rabbit just broke up with his girlfriend and moves back into his mother's trailer. He is known to be the most talented rapper from his circle of friends, but froze onstage at a rap battle at the movie's opening. The movie supposedly mirrors much of what happened in Eminem's real life. While i know that Eminem is an incredibly talented rapper, and enjoy the radio versions of his singles, I'm not a big fan of the conent of his albums. So why did i want to see this movie? It is directed by Curtis Hanson. Having Hanson at the helm raises the quality level of the film and eases much of my skepticism about how good this movie really could be. After L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys , i knew i had nothing to fear. I was not disappointed. 8 Mile is not merely good, it is excellent. Eminem may never make another movie, but in 8 Mile he is the real deal. His acting is fantastic and he lends credibility to B Rabbit when he must rap (and rap well). This is his first movie, and he is being asked to carry the picture. He does. The movie is gritty, and from all reports, accurately represents the feel of the 8 Mile area in Detroit. The movie is fairly fast paces and simply put...this is one of the best movies of 2002.

Summary: Great actor, Great film, Great story!!
Review: To start of with I am a big fan of his music. I thought that this movie really showed what his (Eminems) life was like growing up, why he did what he did. He found other ways of dealing with his troubles like rapping, instead of killing. I think that he was a great actor, I mean he had already gone through all of this in his own real life, so all he was doing was showing what it was like on film. The whole movie was great from the battle scenes to the home life. It also had some comedy in it. I hope it wins many grammies. I loved this movie and I would see it a million times. I am going to buy it on DVD when it comes out. I recommend for all fans and nonfans to go out and see it, maybe you will change your mind about him as at least a person.

Summary: the best movie ever
Review: Eminem is one of the rappers i dislike, basicaly i hate rap mostly. But if u are an eminem fan or not, u should see this movie. The whole point of the film is following ur dream, and it will come true one day. But for jimmy rabbit who lives in detroit and in a trailer park with his mom and little sister. Everyone thinks hes a low life who lives on the streets. And when he gets booed of stage, and chokes in the beggening at the first battle, everybody sees him as a loser and scared. But at the end people realize that he can freestyle better than anybody livin in 313, which is where he lived, and at the end he walks away like hero, and after that everyone loved him. So rent this movie, you will find it interesting.
