Rap star Eminem makes a strong movie debut in 8 Mile, an urban drama that makes a fairly standard plot fly through its gritty attention to detail. Jimmy Smith (Eminem), nicknamed B Rabbit, can't pull himself together to take the next step with his career--or with his life. Angry about his alcoholic mother (Kim Basinger) and worried about his little sister, Rabbit lets out his feelings with twisting, clever raps admired by his friends, who keep pushing him to enter a weekly rap face-off. But Rabbit resists--until he meets a girl (Brittany Murphy) who might offer him support and a little hope that his life could get better. Under the smart and ambitious direction of Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys) and ably supported by the excellent cast and the burnt-out environment of Detroit slums, Eminem reveals a surprising vulnerability that makes 8 Mile vivid and compelling. --Bret Fetzer

I bought this for my 19 year old daughter. Although the language and violent scenes were rough, it played well with the plot.

I was never a rap or Eminem fan, but this movie changed my perspective on both. Thanks to youtube where I saw a small part of the movie - after that I rented it and then bought it. The most striking idea I got from the movie is how true talent and genius can be found even among what appears to be the "rock bottom". "Beauty in disharmony". If for nothing else, the movie is worth watching for the scene where Rabbit cares for and protects his little sister.

I was impressed with this movie. Usually when singers (or rappers) make a movie, it is subpar. But the plot was great. Even though it focused on a fictional character, it mirrored Eminem's life (aka. Marshall Mathers). This is a good movie, and it does earn it's "R" rating with language and some sexual content. So it would not be good for the younger viewers.
You will really enjoy this movie if you are a fan of Eminem or enjoy rap/hip-hop. All the music in the movie is rap/hip-hop and ... Read More

I probably would have appreciated this movie more, except for the fact that i saw it at a party, which usually takes away from a movie. As i sat on the couch, during the final freestyle showdown, my friends crowded around the TV, and as Eminem, "jammed to the sick beats", all my friends cheered "yo! that was some illen rhymin' dawg"...as if they understood anything he said. That kind of made enjoying the movie difficult, but the end scene was still amazing. Aside from a few silly things, this movie ... Read More
