I didn't want to see it at first because I'm not much of a 50 fan anymore and I figured it would just be a dumb and cliche "guy from the hood sells drugs and wants to rap" story but a guy I worked with, who is a 40 year old white dude with no interest in 50 or rap music, watched it and said he liked it so out of interested I caught it onDemand and thought it was great. 50 was a lot better than I was expecting and the story was solid. No complaints about the movie from me.
