I'm a really big Eminem fan, but before watching the movie I thought it was an effort to promote himself instead of a legit story. I thought it was gonna be really cheap and blegh, but it really changed my mind. Sure, Eminem probably did this to advertise himself, but you have to admit it's a pretty decent movie with a good lead considering he's never done a movie before. And hey, he wrote two of his best songs on set. You can't deny it has heart and passion, something he's famous for. You're gonna like it :)
