I love family friendly films. In fact I look so hard for good films. Clean films. I'm pretty disappointed with some of the sexual content and dialogue in the beginning of the film. No nudity or explicit scenes but the focus was very strongly put on the physical attributes of suggestively clothed females. Very disrespectful dialogue about women and towards women. This influences people to look at women disrespectfully. A party scene with suggestive dancing... camera focuses often on tightly or scantily clad younger women who are being referred to as b¥tch€s to f****. Scene moves to implied sex. Again dialogue among young men speaking in an explicit and exploiting way about women. Etc, etc. Disappointed this really takes away from the supposed "character and value" this movie is supposed to have. Other than that FINALLY after unnecessary and drawn out scenes with this sexual suggestive content the real story started to unfold.

I've been wanting to see this for a while and finally did last night. I love 50 Cent as an artist and person and thought his acting was just fine. I think all dramatic movies have their slightly "cheesy" parts but his emotions were deff believable. I didn't even notice any of the goofs mentioned above. 50 Cent's character was much more sincere and respectful than most young men would have been in his position (handsome star athlete). Even though he slept around and got with a girl his brother liked I didn't view him as jerk just a young man living life which made it even sadder to see his hard work and promising future torn apart. I found it touching and inspirational! The only downside was a vague ending...and I love him with dreads :)

Good storyline but horrible acting by 50 cent. I nearly turned it off a number of times but figured I'd give it the benefit of the doubt and watch it the whole way through. Now I wish I would have turned it off and could get my $1.27 back from Redbox they stole from me for putting out such a pathetic excuse for a movie. This is undeniably one of the worst movies I have ever had the misfortune of watching in my entire life. This is even bad for sports movies. And they're usually real bad. Hopefully there is enough people close to 50 cent that will be honest with him let him know to please stop acting. I would strongly suggest that 50 cent stick to being a musician, or whatever it is he calls it. He is most assuredly NOT an actor.

I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I thought 50 Cent did an outstanding acting job. I initially thought his acting role was typical for what you would expect from a musical artist turned actor but by the end of the movie I was completely sold on 50 Cent the actor. His commitment was obvious as the dramatic weight loss he went through showed his seriousness and commitment to the acting craft. I honestly didn't believe he could pull this acting career off but after seeing this flick I have no doubt he can be as successful in acting as he decides he want to be. Once again outstanding acting job by 50 Cents and the rest of the crew. Would definitely watch a 50 Cent movie in the future. Highly recommended.
