I loved this movie. I watch it like all the time. Eminem's acting in this movie is kinda like how he acts in the real world, that "I don't care if people think I can't rap cuz I'm white, I'm still gonna do it" attitude about him. I like that attitude. It shows that he believs that he can do anything if he sets his mind to it. I would reccoment this movie fa sho. <33Eminem/Slim Shady
