pleasantly surprised

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2002)

anyone going to see this movie and expecting something along the lines of braveheart will be disappointed without a doubt. but if you expected another cheesy musician-turned-actor movie, and expected it to be a flop, then you will be rather surprised.
i've always been a big fan of eminem, however, i'll be the first to admit that when i first heard he was doing a movie i groaned with the rest of them. but as the time came closer to the release date i couldn't wait to see it and demanded that i see it on opening weekend, even if that meant seeing it alone.
i so enjoyed this movie that i might just go see it again, watching it from somewhere in the back this time, where i can enjoy it more than the second row from the front. hell, i might just go see it again after all, just because it was enjoyable.
