It's not a bad movie, but it's not a good movie.

It's very obvious that the premise for this entire movie was based off of 8 Mile. The whole movie was turned cliche when that movie came out... only problem is, this movie came out almost two decades later.

It's okay. It's not great. In this day and age of NetFlix, it's an easy pass in lieu of the plethora of other good movies. Production companies have to realize that garbage pandering movies like this don't fly anymore. Blockbuster and other movie rental stores are dead. We know what we're getting into.

Prove me wrong.
