Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - not too bad
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 ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Hip-Hop Hoopla (3.5 stars)
Ever since his first single "My Name Is" hit the airwaves in 1998, Eminem has become a household name and with each album he releases, his listening audience is privy to the intimate details of his life. His candid alliterations have alluded to his mother's drug abuse, his strained relationship and estrangement from ex-wife Kim, a tumultuous childhood and his troubles with the law. Now comes a film that mirrors his hard-knock life and road to stardom (names and events changed for dramatic effect, of course).

"8 Mile" (an actual road in Michigan that separates Detroit proper from seven northern suburbs) is the story of Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith (Eminem), a down-on-his-luck Detroit mill worker with big dreams. He and pals Future (Phifer), Cheddar Bob (Jones), Sol George (Miller) and Wink (Byrd) spend their time throwing random lyrics and frequenting "The Shelter", a local haunt in the Detroit suburbs ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 8 mile
The movie is great !!!! the price not so great , people shop around , after I got it wall mart had it for 5 bucks !!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of my favorite movies of 2002
Even though 8 Mile can't touch Purple Rain or Krush Groove when it comes to music it was one of my favorite movies from last year. Like I said 8 Mile was clearly without a doubt one of the best movies of the previous year when it came to crowd pleasing. Director Curtis Hanson and screenwriter Scott Silver have tailor made a great first movie for Eminem. In his portrayl of Jimmy Smith Jr.,Eminem gives the charcter depth and while watching the film I didn't see Eminem, I saw Jimmy. Some of the film's best scenes invole no dialogue, scenes such as Jimmy writing and anazlying his surroundings are deep and give you a feel of what a rapper goes through trying to write hye lyrics. The supporting cast all give excellent performances Mehki Phifer who serves as Jimmy's main supporter contiunes to make star making movies. Omar Benson Miller as Sol and Evan Jones as Cheddar Bob provide a lot of comic relief. With the little screen ... Read More
