Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

puuoor I just can be grateful because of respecting to music in this movie. This's a real destiny of a great singer. I suggest making the biography of some others great musician such as Yanni.

nicolasromeo 8 mile is the best movie i have ever seen. the story of this movie is about Eminem life and what he had done for become what he is now. from when everyone bully him to when everyone respected him and his music if you count Eminem is not an actor he done very well as a protagonist. I recommend this movie because Eminem is one of the best artist in the work and who follow him have to see it for understand what he went through when he was younger.

disastrousdallas the Rags to riches and the underdog wins tropes in movies are overused in the common day and age, whilst many celebrities will create semi biographical films as vanity projects that are usually terrible this film is not among them.Eminem plays Jimmy B. Rabbit Smith Jr, a character based of his own life and a character that many can relate to, as it shows him at a low point trying to accomplish his dream hitting many rocks in the road, although you could say that a slight bit of vanity is that he's in every scene, but this is just because its a semi biographical story.The story details the life B. Rabbit for a week in his life with his friends showing how he mellows out and becomes more calm and realizes that his dreams are achievable and in a film that people can relate to.the supporting cast is commendable for there great performance, and if you're a fan of the hip-hop scene look for many cameos from numerous amazing rappers.of course the highlight of the film is the music, namingly the award winning "Lose Yourself" by Eminem just listening it, is it any wonder he won the award for it?.overall a great film and a must watch.
