Great Film with Great Realism

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2007)

Found this film very entertaining which had a great message to tell about the people who love rap music and the great talent it takes to perform with great style. Eminem, (Jimmy B-Rabbit-Smith Jr.) was well liked by many of his friends in Detroit, Michigan, who worked in an auto parts factory in plastic molding and at the same time was a very good young rapper. Rabbit had many white and black friends as well as an ex gal friend who told him she was pregnant and another Alex, (Brittany Murphy). Rabbit appeared at a rapper contest and when he got up on stage, he froze and was unable to utter a word, which made things bad for him and many people began to talk in bad ways about his being a very poor rapper with words and music. Kim Basinger, (Stephanie Smith) plays the role of Rabbit's mother who lives in a trailer and shows the fact that she has a bad life with her present boyfriend and never seems to have any money. Poor Rabbit has to put up with her boyfriend and at the same time care for his young sister who loves Rabbit very much. Enjoyed the great performance by Mekhi Phifer, (David "Future" Porter) who gave Rabbit all the support he needed to get a head of this music business. Great film, enjoy.
