this is what you get...

Rating: Null/10 (14 November 2002)

when you hire the guy who wrote "Mod Squad!!" Everybody's talking about the director, guess what- no director can make a good movie out of a bad script like this! As a man who appreciates the value of words, you'd think Eminem would realize this.
SOFT SOFT SOFT! This is basically a PG movie with the word "f**k" a lot... Sort of like an urban "Wayne's World" or a rap "Karate Kid" this is anything but gritty and realistic. Basically a comedy, although at times unintentional. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with so many unresolved plot threads- what happened to his mom? his sister? his girlfriend? etc etc etc
Elvis' movies may have been bad, but at least he sang, which is what people wanted. Eminem doesn't even rap until WAY WAY too late in the film. This is the exact opposite of his music- bland, innoffensive despite the swearing, and at times blatantly PC (heroic Em stands up for a gay guy and a woman? COME ON!!!)
Maybe just a documentary of one of his tours would've been better. The real Eminem onstage is way more interesting than this bland attempt at image-polishing or whatever the hell they were trying to do...
