Saw this film last night. I don't understand the acclaim that it has been receiving. Eminem cannot act. He's more wooden than kevin costner. The plot was non-existent. The dialogue was lame. It's only saving grace was eminem's rap at the climax of the film and Brittany Murphy. If Eminem hadn't starred in it, it would have been a straight to video movie.

Hackeyned plot (why remake Rocky?) and a stunning lack of direction from Hanson (this guy made LA Confidential??!?) but yeah the rapping at the end just about saved it from being completely dire. MnM was alright, he didn't act just played himself really.
Question is, would you still bang Basinger?

The one good thing about the DVD release is that it has a documentary of all the rap "battles". It is actually quite entertaining. It's worth renting it out for that alone. In fact rent it out, watch the documentary and don't watch the film. That's my recommendation. I'll give it a 2.

its lameass its exactly like an 80's movie i kept expecting a breakdance battle or them all to don leg-warmers and break into a rousing rendition of "fame!" but they just rapped instead, how phresh....
eminem had like 1 facial expression throughout the entire movie, this is not acting!

I thought it was shit. I wanted a fucking refund.
Had no story to it. The whole movie was like in one week. It was just shit. I thought it was supposed to be like a life story type thing, not just a week of boring events leading up to him winning some gay rap contest.
Like he deserves a friggen movie made about him anyway, or did he direct it etc himself? I think there'll be a sequel. The record companies need more money to make off the dumb shits that go watch it.

I really liked the film, and I'm not a big fan of Eminem at all.
The last rap in the end of the film is what made it, but I think it has more poignnance(?) after seeing the rest of the film, which may not appeal to everyone, but got it's themes across to me very well.
Whether Eminem can act is irrellevant to me, as it obviously wasn't a hard reach for him to act the role. but I enjoyed the whole conflict, and I believe it's one of those movies where if you didn't like it, doesn't neccasarily make it a bad film.
(Sorry for the spelling mistakes.)

Probably the end. There's a few, and they're all awesome.

the thing about the movie is that it should have been either based on eminem or NOT based on eminem...not half way. anyhow, he has plenty of his life to fuck up before they do his life story, so it was really a lose lose situation.
