As an older adult, I was offended by this young singer's statements and reputation, and not interested in his music. After seeing this movie, I listened more closely to the lyrics of his songs, I appreciated the inclusion of his family life, although the depiction has been criticized as inaccurate. I ended up buying the soundtrack, ...  Read the complete review

So Eminem has made a film. About a white rapper struggling to gain respect for what he does. And he has a fiery relationship with his Mum, and there is no Dad to speak of. But its not 'Eminem - The Life Story', honest. For all that can be said about this film and the connections that do/do not tie between the lead actor and ...  Read the complete review

First of I'm not going to waste your time telling you the whole story as this would be pointless and just ruin the film. The film depicts the struggle of Jimmy ‘Rabbit’ Smith, Jr (Eminem) and his group of friends. It shows them on the streets of Detroit trying to make it in the underground world of hip-hop. Jimmy realises that the only ...  Read the complete review

But when I left the cinema I had gained respect for him and decided i quite fancied him!! First scene I couldnt get my head around Him being in a film!! A bit like Britnay ...  Read the complete review

This is a great movie for R n B fans and rap fans as its baised on this lifestyle, the movie is moslty about the main man himself, he actually does a great job in this movie. The ...  Read the complete review

If you are a fan of Eminem, or just rap and hip-hop music in general, this is the film for you. Even if it's not your thing, 8 Mile is still definately worth watching. It follows a week in the life of poor, struggling Jimmy Smith Jr. (Eminem), who lives for hip-hop music and dreams of being a credible rapper. The problem ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to see this film not because i am a great fan of rapping and that whole hiphop scene but because i heard that it contained some great acting and and controversial caused by Debbie Mathers kicking up a storm intrigued me. I am not a fan of Eminem or the whole rap scene, but what a great film. Eminem is a great actor if ...  Read the complete review

Cinema and rap stars hasn't always been a perfect marriage, the last time a 'rap' star headlined his own movie we got 'Cool As Ice' with Vanilla Ice. If you've never heard of it then you're quite lucky, it's a terrible film with a star so wooden you could put a match to him and start an inferno. I ...  Read the complete review

To tell you the truth, I don't really like Eninem's music. So when I went to see 8 Mile, I was a little apprehensive about what it would be like. However I was pleasantly surprised by this film. If you are an Eninem fan or not, you will really like 8 Mile. It is loosely based on Eninem?s real life except that his hair is brown in ...  Read the complete review
