Critics agree, it's a movie...

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2003)

Yo... Come on now...
8 mile's a flick bout shae whitee in da hood, Creative mix mastering vocals are understood,
Poetry slams to music ain't really nothing new, Paying $8 buck a ticket could make you wanna stew,
Rent it if you have to, don't expect nuttin fresh, I'd enjoyed it a lot more to see someone slamming John Tesh.
Yawn... White boy in trailer park with alcoholic mom does slams in da hood. Shae whitee has some brother friends, a dumb friend and racial hostility. Has ex-girlfriend for no appearant reason. Meets new girl with stupid hairdo. New girl sleeps with everything. Gangs are in there to attempt to make some sort of story other than "Trailer Trash Goes to Recording Studio".

Will the real Slim Shadee please stand up? (and go back to your trailer...)
