Advantages: Music and some acting Disadvantages: Drags a bit, some support acting is not so good
This 2002 film, 8 Mile, had a lot of hype surrounding it before its release. Many were critical in advance of Eminem's acting ability, and questioning whether the film was semi-autobiograohical or not. What emerged was this moving tale of music.
