Crossroads it is NOT

Rating: 10/10 (9 November 2002)

Of course I knew who eminem was before seeing this movie, who doesn't? And yes, I heard the talk that this movie was simply another crossroads, a way for the movie studio to make money by putting out a picture featuring a top music star. The only difference? This movie is based loosely on Eminem's life, while crossroads...well, any movie with Britney Spears as a valedictorian can't start good or get any better. Anyways, this movie really suprised me to the fact that it's better than I expected. Eminem is actually a pretty decent actor, and a person who might not have known anything about his life before this movie might gain some insight into the person behind the music, something people rarely try to understand before judging him. Other than that, go see this movie and decide for yourself. If you don't like it, at least have a good reason. Too many people already discredit Eminem just because of who he is and what he says, they don't look through the act to the person. After all, look how he treats his daughter, he's a heck of a lot better than most of the deadbeats out there today.
