The plot and acting are not terrible. Eminem did a reasonably good job at acting his role, putting him in the company of many singers and athletes. Cher, Madonna, Shwarzenegger, and many others do reasonably well at acting, which makes me think that it's really not that hard. I'm not saying anyone could do it, (I don't think I could) and yes, some people are very talented at it. Also, is the "rap battle" really a thing? And if so, are they always this insulting? It seems like this sort of thing would get a lot of people shot. Full disclosure, I am an older white guy in the South who has zero appreciation or affinity for rap "music", which dragged down my rating for this film considerably, so feel free to ignore it if you do not agree.
