This movie presents a hardcore, real-life account that will open your eyes to the prices that are paid for fame.
Even if you don't care for Marshall Mathers' (a.k.a. Eminem) music, his break-through movie qualifies as one of the best dramatic, true-to-life flicks you'll see. It's especially eye-opening for those of us who don't live near a metropolis and never really see people living and dealing with poverty like the main character, Jimmy "Rabbitt", does in this movie. Other than being a darn good drama, this movie serves as a reminder as to just how hard some people have to work to make it in this world.
Jimmy Smith has been born and raised in a poor lifestyle in inner-city Detroit. He battles with his dependent mother, her young, hot-headed boyfriend, his job, and his friends, all while aspiring to be a famous white rapper in a predominately black atmosphere. Along the way to his dreamed stardom, he faces problems with girls and friends, strong competition, and his own self-confidence problems. Because this movie mirrors the life of it's main actor, Eminem, the viewer has the opportunity to be touched by the real life account in a way that few other movies presents.
Buy or see this movie if you want to be entertained by a dramatic, true to life account of one of the most controversial rappers. But you may want to think twice if profanity bothers you.

best motivation movie everReview created: 06/30/09

Eminem stars as B-Rabbit, an aspiring rapper from the wrong side of Detroit's 8 Mile, whose ambition is to secure a recording deal. B-Rabbit has many problems to deal with. He dumps his girlfriend when she tells him she's pregnant, and moves back into the trailer where his alcoholic mother lives with her rather unpleasant boyfriend. He takes a dead-end job, trying to save enough money to make a demo tape, but the rapping isn't going well - he chokes in a local rap battle, making himself easy prey for the other rappers.

eminem's big screen debutReview created: 11/12/08
by:
for all of you who are not familiar with the controversial rapper named "eminem" a.k.a slim shady, he is a white rapper that appered on the rap scene in 1999. his wordplay and imagery in his rhymes have propelled him into the top of the charts and industry as a great lyricist. it seems that he cant do any wrong since his first movie is a very good one. it has many elements of his life entangled in it, although it isnt really about his life. it takes place in detroit during the early 90's where most of the dark and gritty type of rap music flourished. his main caharacter has to find a way out of his ugly enviorment and thinks that his skills as a rapper can do it. the movie has alot of spirit, emotion, surprises and talent in it and i reccomend it to any fan of eminem or rap alike.

Not a movie to watch with the kidsReview created: 10/25/08
by:
You could have elminated Kim Bassigners role and still had an excllant movie.About a white rapper trying to excell at hiss craft when he has so much going against him.Being white is no help to this guy.Haveing a Mom who is dateing a person that went to school with you and telling you about her bad sex life is another distraction.

I love this movie, but I'm sick of watching the edited version that comes on t.v. So watching a non-watered down version was nice.
