I don't understand

Rating: 4/10 (9 June 2003)

I will never understand why such a talented director, Curtis Hanson, would make such a boring, cliche, unoriginal, uninspired movie. Eminem winning an oscar? Hollywood needs to pulls it's head from it's own ass and see where the true talent is.
I know all you "hardcore" white suburban kids can relate to this, God knows why considering you know NOTHING about oppression and hatred except that which he bring upon yourself, but if you're going to write a review don't call a movie "tight". THat's not even the meaning behind that word. Ebonics is not a real language.
That said, this movie stunk. Not one bit of originality behind it. How many times can they make a damn movie about someone trying to make it and being the odds? I know most of the people who thought this and Eminem can't count that high, but this didn't even give us a little plot twist.
I do have to say the rap battles at the end were well done, but its not worth sitting through to get there. Eminem is a good actor? Please. he had one expression and one way of delivering every line in the movie. NO ONE IS THAT MONOTONE is real life. and it's just like his music. He's a whinny little poor-me brat, just like most of the spoiled white kids out there who's parents but them his albums. Granted he came from nothing but enough. We get that you had it bad, HAD, and your mother was mean to you and your dad left, and people put you down. Well, now your rich and you complain about that? Get a life man, millions of people would love to be in your position. Why don't you do something intelligent like putting a positive message in your music, Stan was good, but that's it. And producing 50 Cent? Don't get me started on him. That is DUMB MUSIC for DUMB PEOPLE.

But don't worry all you new to puberty spolied suburban white kids, I used to be like you when I was your age, not as rude or dumb, but you'll grow up one day.
Bottom line...movie was OVER RATED and poorly paced. Boring as expected coming from an overrated singer. Better luck next time Madonna.
