Summary: Great Movie
Review: The movie line may not have been totally fresh, but the direction it was taken in makes it a lot better to see. And who the heck would compare Eminem to Sadam? Last time I checked, Em wasn't making bombs..Anyway, Eminem's music helps people. I won't get into my life story, but a lot of his songs have prevented me from doing pretty stupid things. Anyway the movie is really good. Not the best and the ending really leaves you wondering, but it shows a softer side to Marshall Mathers. Their are two main storylines that eventually tie together (SPOILER) with Jimmy Smith's (Eminem) young sister watching him get beaten up (END OF SPOILER) the two storylines are Jimmy's homelife, where he has to take care of his alcoholic sister and often neglected younger sister, Lily. The other one is a life that he tries to hide to protect Lily from, his "rap life", where he hangs with his best friends, freestyling and getting dissed for being, well, white in the rapworld. Well worth your money even though I was disapointed in the ending, but if you know about Eminem you know where it goes.

Summary: Great Movie Debut By Eminem
Review: The 8-mile movie is very good and I have to give Eminem props for his performance in the movie. I liked the story a lot(even though it's a quasi-autobiography of Eminem's life) and I think that the characters(particularly Jimmy and his younger sister) are very relatable.I also liked the soundtrack a lot and I think that the acting in this movie is excellent.

Summary: Where did he come from?
Review: I have not been a fan of Marshal Mathers aka Eminem, but this movie was one of my favorites. I went to see it because my friends were going, and not only was I laughing throughout it, I was recommending it to other friends. Eminem made a strong performance, and Mekhi Phifer is great as well. The only problems I found were in Brittany Murphy's character. I didn't think she was developed very well, but none of the women really were.
Overall, good camera work and a good script, I am reserving my copy already.

Summary: Powerfully inspiring.
Review: One small step for film-making, and one large step for Director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, A Knight's Tale). Being infatuated with Eminem's original and brilliantly orchestrated lyrics, '8 Mile' has offered a chance to see Eminem's extraordinary vast talents. If anything, I would claim this film to be 'Inspiring'. It's a genuine prologue of a boy's life, whom is determined to become a man. Other than his average group of friends, Jimmy/Rabbit (Eminem) is on his own. Dealing with his alcoholic mother (Kim Basinger), her abusive boyfriend, and desperately trying to be a good influence on his kid sister. With barely keeping his factory job, Jimmy must grip on his own faith. He soon meets a lady friend (Brittany Murphy), who maintains her distance, but takes part in Rabbit's rough road to triumph. Jimmy dreams of dominating a lyrical freestyle tournament, and pursuing a career with it. But in order to succeed, Rabbit must overcome his greatest fear...

Summary: Was it worth it?
Review: 8 mile was definitely not your average love story movie. The main charactor, Jimmy, is played by Eminem, a rap singer. I walked into this movie expecting it to have no story, and i expected a lot of music. Surprisingly there is more to the story then just the music. Eminem's nickname in the movie is Rabbit. At first you wonder why he was given this name, but it all ties in. He shares the screen with a few other big names like Kim Basinger, and Brittany Murphy. The movie is about his struggle to become a rap singer and how he is unable to perform infront of other people. While doing this he is also taking care of his mother, Kim Basinger, his little sister, and trying to keep a job. His mother is drunk all the time, her boyfriend beats her, and Rabbit can never get his car to start. In his spare time he tries to get in down at the club so that he can participate in some rap wars. That was the best part of the movie. It's amazing to see people free style rap like they do in the movie. This movie shows there is more behind the singer then just the music. I was actually surprised to see Eminem act as well as he did. Unfortunately we haven't seen this much come from actor/musicians like Jennifer Lopez. The only delema i had was if it was worth the sex scenes and profanity you were exposed to. Well, that would be for you to decide. There is a pretty long and graphic scene of Eminem and Brittany Murphy at the factory where he works. Other then that the movie kept my interest, made me laugh, made me sad, and over all kept me entertained the whole time. I would go see it again, and I would recommend this movie to anyone that doesn't mind a little sex scene and some bad language.It was actually kind of inspiring to see someone succeed in such rough conditions.

Summary: Eminem is charismatic on the big screen
Review: Not knowing much of anything about Eminem and rap when I saw this film, I was struck by the charisma and undeniable talent of this guy. His vulnerability as Jimmy Smith Jr. really shines through, and fortunately the writers didn't create a cliche "rags to riches" story here, but instead they focused on the dismal underbelly of Detroit's innercity, Jimmy's tough existence living in a trailor park, and his ability to rap--the only ray of hope in his life. I liked the fact that NOT all of his problems were solved by the end, and even that he didn't get the girl. The writers didn't fall prey to a lot of pitfalls that other movies of this ilk often do. And surrounding Eminem with a wonderful and capable cast was a good move too.
