Not what every one expects

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2003)

I thought this movie was excellent. First, after reading a select handful of everyones comments, it seems a lot of people DON'T realize that this movie is FICTION not fact....it is based on SOME of Eminem's experiences, BUT is fictionalized....if you have the dvd watch the making of the film, and you will see what I mean. Yes, it does "reflect" some of Eminem's life and challenges along the way...but the only way he agreed to do the movie was if he got to portray another character....made more fictional. He also wrote Loose Yourself during the production of the film. Get the DVD its so worth ALL of the extras available for EVERY movie, not just this one...if you don't have a player, save a few trips to the theater and get one...you will not be disappointed, especially with this film....it is SO not what everyone expected....
