January 20, 2009I don't actually know how I was brought to see this. It's obviously narcissism to the highest degree imaginable, and yet it is still interesting. 50 Cent may not be Oscar quality (in fact, he's got about as much acting personality as a block of wood), but he tries to make us like...( read more)

February 1, 2008What the fuck is this shit, you think they would have the decentcy to shoot him in the fucking head. Rappers dont need a motion picture made of there supposely stupid lifes. Dumb, numb and flat-out teriable. Curtis Jackson is absolutely fucking pathetic

November 3, 2009Let's glorify the gangster, drug dealing murderer, and make him even more rich. This country is pathetic, just like this movie. It's no wonder everyone wants to blow our shit up

October 14, 2009Might have been another Boyz in the Hood if it had decent writing, acting, direction, etc. 50 Cent is such a bad actor that it made me wish they had cast a corpse for the lead role. What a God-awful mess.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Director Jim Sheridan and screenwriter Terence Winter have difficulty fashioning these events into a story that has a coherent point or purpose. full review
November 9, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Jim Sheridan's film, loosely based on the experiences of its star, the glowering rapper 50 Cent, lacks an emotional core.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Movie stardom is seductive, but 50 Cent and his fans will be best served if he sticks to to his day job. full review
November 9, 2005
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A film with a rich and convincing texture, a drama with power and anger. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
A reiteration of the now-clichéd hip-hop rise-to-fame legend that duplicates the crime-to-rhyme formula of Hustle & Flow. full review

October 12, 2009Another of my favorite movies! He's one of my favorite rap artists EVRER, and 50 showed other talents besides causing beefs within the hip-hop culture. This shows his versatility as well as his knowledge in the streets and in corporate America. F all you haters!

Lyrics:
Nigga you's a window shopper
Mad at me, I think I know why
Nigga you's a window shopper
In the jewelery store, looking at shit you can't buy
Nigga you's a window shopper
In the dealership, trying to get a test drive
Nigga you's a window shopper
Mad as fuck when you see me ride by
but wat the fucks so wrong w/ laughing at window shoppers? -
