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

 8 mile January 6, 2009
I bought this for my 19 year old daughter. Although the language and violent scenes were rough, it played well with the plot.
Watch this movie even if you're no rap fan December 28, 2008
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.
Good movie November 18, 2008
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 much of it Eminem wrote himself. I bought the soundtrack as well and loved it.

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 was great. Those silly things being that when Eminem meets some random girl, he goes and has sex with her in the most random place possible...a factory... Not entirely fitting to the situation. The other stupid thing was the idea that Eminem was poor... my take on the situation; Eminem: "I am so poor and I live in a trailer park with my momma, but somehow I can still afford 140$ headphones". But all in all, this movie was great, and Eminem was fantastic, although my assumption is that he's gonna think to himself "wow this movie was so successful, maybe I should make another one" and if this is the case, it's gonna be garbage. He had his 15 minutes of fame, now it's up, he should go back to his white trailer trash park, and continue to make up "illen beats" with his 140$ headphones.
