My expectations weren't high so I wasn't disappointed

Rating: 3/10 (30 April 2003)

The movie wasn't awful, but it wasn't great, either. I knew that going in, so I wasn't too disappointed when there were no Oscar-worthy performances. Eminem did well for what he was doing... playing Eminem. My husband liked the movie a lot more than I did but he liked Eminem to begin with so it's different. I just have a problem with Brittany Murphy's role in the movie. She had zero character development, except that she was a slut (ooh, what a surprise! I'm not talking about the actress. I love Brittany Murphy.) She was basically in the movie for one long disgusting sex scene which I fast-forwarded through and then some vague lines about "I have a feeling about you." She could have been left out completely and nothing would have changed except that the perverts would miss out on their bordering on porn sex scene.
I'd be more impressed if Eminem played someone other than a trailer-trash white rapper from Detroit.
