Rabbit is a white kid trying to make music in a predominantly African-American community and culture. After Rabbit freezes up in the midst of an MC battle, he's convinced he's missed his chance and that he's doomed to lead a marginal life as a factory rat for the rest of his days. With the help of his friends, and his new girlfriend Alex, Rabbit struggles to work up the courage and the confidence to take one more shot at making his dream a reality.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

not good submitted by Jackie77 on August 10, 2015, 10:30pm This movie was not that great. Eminem was cute to watch. The story line seemed played out...weve heard it all in the songs numerous times. Acfing wasnt that great.

Like it submitted by KOH on August 5, 2017, 9:06pm Worth a watch. Eminem's acting is decent too!

Great submitted by KidBlue on February 17, 2019, 8:59am One of the finest popular music movies ever made. The anger and frustration and sadness are stunning. Eminem did a terrific job.

Great movie submitted by RebeccaWittekindt on August 16, 2023, 9:11am Curtis Hanson did an amazing job directing this. Engaging and bittersweet, with a great performance from Eminem. When he’s not participating in the rap battles in the film I almost forget that he’s Eminem.
