Summary: Eminem and a solid acting performance...
Review: Usually music based stars in big hollywood pictures don't work out,but Eminem proved critics wrong in this box office smash.It's not only the hottest movie of 2002 but also a very successful DVD video.Eminem plays B-Rabbit,a man who lives in a dream world full of beats and hip hop rhymes.He believes in himself but still can't find a way out of 8-Mile.With up's and downs along the way this film has a great ending putting Eminem the champion of the Shelter,a local hip hop spot where they compete against one another.This film has a very good supporting cast in Kim Bassinger and Mekhi Pheifer.I give Eminem two thumbs up in his surprising role.

Summary: A Surprisingly good movie!
Review: First of all Id like to say how nice it is to see a major DVD release that is offered in FULL SCREEN format as well as widescreen. It's nice to have the choice for those of us who prefer not to have the black bars present everytime we watch a DVD.Now on to the movie itself. I WAS REALLY SHOCKED! When I saw previews for this movie, it made me curious, and also a bit uninterested at the same time. The previews didn't say ANYTHING about the plot or what the movie was about, basically all they said about the film was "hey Eminem made a movie! Go watch it because he's in it!". I hate hype like that. So I was worried this movie would be another stupid mainstream, hyped up movie that would ultimatley [be unacceptable]. But I was wrong! The movie is roughly based around Eminem's own life; how he was poor, living in a trailor with a bad mother, and basically had a really bad life. The birght spot in his life? - Hip-hop. The character goes through a lot of drama with friends, and has to overcome both the oppression of others and his own hang ups in order to make it. Basically it's a movie about battle rapping and the hip-hop culture on the streets of detroit and how it impacted his life. Many people wont understand the plot because they dont understand hip-hop and can't relate. But this is a pretty original story-line. It's almost like a sports movie... sort of like remember the titans only instead of football the sport is battle rap. For those who don't understand battle rap it may not make any sense or seem stupid. If you're a true fan of hip-hop you'll love this movie. The battles are well-crafted and hilarious. I dont know who actually wrote all the rhymes but they are lyrically very nice. The acting too, is off the hook. Eminem does a really good job playin his character, and all the characters are likeable. All around this movie is well done and was a really nice surprise for me. The message of overcoming obsticales and finding your own niche in life is well woven into the story. If you hate eminem (and I know lots of parents or rap-haters do) you may come to respect him after watching the movie. I like to think little marshal has more in common with B Rabbit than he does his alter ego "slim shady". Check it out before ya buy, and if it aint your thing, then you aint gonna like it (people who just watch MTV videos and have no REAL understanding of what hip hop really is), but I loved it, and I think many others are surprised that this movie was as good as it was.

Summary: I was a bit diappointed!
Review: To tell you the truth without ruining the movie, I thought this would be a more in depth movie about his life. I was pretty bummed, but it was a good movie none the less!

Summary: Very Good
Review: Everyone has been saying that Eminem is a terrible actor and that people have only been seeing this movie because he was in it. However this movie was actually very good, and still would be no matter who is in it. The only problem was that Alix(Brittany Murphy) wasn't really in it a whole lot, and she wasn't really a big character. Over all this movie was alot better than I thought it would be.

Summary: Very Good
Review: Despite what everyone is saying about Eminem being a bad actor, this movie is actually good. It is mainly just a watered down story of his life.

Summary: Eminem is a Great Actor
Review: Most song artists are bad at acting. Eminem is very good in this movie. He looks so into his character (probably because it's mostly his life before he got famous). I watched this movie over and over again. You can really just feel his pain. I'm not too fond of Britney Murphy so I think they could've found someone better for her part, but she did an ok job. Kim Basinger had the perfect part and she was awesome. The movie is basically about battle-rapping in Detroit and trying to get a rap deal. He goes through everything from having to move back into the trailer with his mom....getting in fights with rival groups....and trying to not let his little sister see the bad life he lives. I can't give too much away because I'll ruin it for you. This is probably one you want to rent before you buy it if you aren't a big Eminem or rap fan. It's a great movie though.

Summary: Gets my nod
Review: The acting in this film is what first gets my nod. Eminem, Kim Basinger and Brittany Murphy do a great job portraying different white trash lifestyles and struggles. Granted the cinematic exaggeration, the acting is so real some might think the film a documentary. That's how good the characters are played. The second thing that gets my nod is the music. I am a fan of Eminem's music; subsequently, I love the soundtrack to this film. The title song and "Lose Yourself" are absolutely phenomenal songs that appeal to all music lovers (even if you don't like rap, you will at least appreciate the talent in these two songs if you appreciate music at all). All in all, this is a good heavy drama to watch on a weekday night. Certainly not for family entertainment night, but it sure will satisfy your needs for art and realism you expect to get from a well-done drama.

Summary: Nice Job.
Review: This movie was outstanding. Eminem does a good job in his debut and lead role as B Rabbit. From director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) this movie is about Rabbit trying to make his way out of 8 mile mobile court. His mom is a drunk with no job, and her boyfriend is a loser. Rabbit is very concerned about his kid sister. He works at a factory and is going nowhere. He meets a girl (Brittany Murphy) and likes her. He does rap battles in hopes of a record deal. Alright, enough about the plot, I don't want to ruin it. What made this movie so good, was the comedy aspect of it. It's set in a ghetto, and Rabbit and his friends are poor, but their so funny, I laughed so hard when Cheddar Bob shot himself by accident, and the fat guy is a riot, he constantly makes hilarious jokes. I suggest you rent this at the LEAST. PEACE.
