AVERAGE

Rating: Null/10 (20 February 2003)

This film stars top names like Brittany Murphey, Eminem and Kim Bassinger but despite this 8 Mile doesn't exactly shine. In this semi-autobiographical film Eminem does a pretty good job playing a white boy rapper striving for success to get him out of the trailer park he lives at with his mum (Bassinger)who gets beaten by her drunken lover. This film isn't terrible but it doesnt live up to the hype and in my opinion the only true star is Brittany Murphey who shines in each role she takes on. I think to truly enjoy this movie then you have to be an Eminem fan. I'm not so i don't appreciate it. On the whole this movie isn't bad it just isn't my type of film. I give it 6/10
