Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2002)

Although the film is briefly based on his life, I thought Marshall Mathers did an excellent job of acting, considering it was his first feature film. The idea of an Oscar nomination is not an overstatement, based on what I saw from the rapper. I felt he was believable as Jimmy Smith, Jr., and not Eminem. Kim Basingner and Mekhi Phyfer do excellent acting jobs as well. Britney Murphy looks hot and that adds to the charisma of the film. The drama with a little bit of comedy is the perfect combination for the Academy Awards. The end Battle Raps by Jimmy Smith, Jr. versus the Freeworld rappers is and unforgettable scene that will forever go down in history. Congrats to Eminem on a great acting debut and we'll see him at the Oscars this year, if not for acting, he will definately be accepting the award for Best Song from a Motion Picture.
