The Very Abridged Script

FADE IN:

EXT. DETROIT

EVERYBODY wrongs EMINEM. EMINEM wrongs NOBODY.

EMINEM

All I want is to be a rapper.

People continue wronging EMINEM. Eventually, he realizes the people who wronged him the fewest number of times are his TRUE FRIENDS. He RAPS.

    Brilliant. I love going through most of the scripts on this site every few months again and again.

  • Si

    Yep, Rod, you recognised the whole movie was a big cliche. A pretty well executed cliche, but still a cliche.

    Kudos.

  • Shady’s Baby

    Um...more detail, please..?

  • Billy

    Shady's baby? Are you like, Eminem's daughter or something?

    I laughed...

    At something i saw before i read this script. The brevity wasn't even the problem. The problem was it simply wasn't funny nor indicative of the movie in any way.

    Terrible. Try again!

  • Metrocarpetmatt

    That is the actual reality of Detroit, summed up quite nicely. You missed the point of the movie, and the script, you jackass.
