Summary: Taste and talent-free
Review: Attracted foolishly by the endorsements on the cover, I am ashamed to say that I bought this DVD. As an avid Southpark viewer who appreciates subtle (and not-so-subtle) social commentary, I was hoping that Slim Shady would present another viewpoint on our times. My hopes were dashed when this turned out to be exactly what I have heard critics accuse Eminem of being - taste and talent-free...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not worth the money
Review: Eminem aka Marshall Mathers is great. His music is talented and he's pretty bright. However, I must say... this DVD is really not anything great. I was very unimpressed with it.. basically just a flash animation with Eminem crew voice overs. It has a very shallow and thrown together type writing for the script. There is basically no plot to this thing and the few times it made me laugh was to little to make up for the rest of the DVD. I give it 2 stars because the big E was in it, and for the 3 times I chuckled. Otherwise it was bad, just being honest. Go rent it or borrow from a friend if your really that interested. But if your going to be spending gas money to pick it up, think twice.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BETTER than SOUTHPARK and Celebrity Deathmatch
Review: Eminem did it again! Yeah, he produced some dope,cool cartoon,of his alter ego Slim Shady.Slim and his homies are beating up Celebrities and are doing a lotta [stuff] on this dvd. You can also see Marshall,Eminem,the gay-guy KEN KANIFF (from Eminems CD's),BIG D (that's like the big bully) DAVE ... and Southpark,NSync,Aguilera,George Michael,Ben Affleck,Olsentwins and lot more.If you like Eminem,you'll love this DVD,I can watch it over n over again.Many Characters are spoken by Marshall Mathers. It's really funny,it's worth it,I swear by my mom =o)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious and Brilliant!
Review: Eminem's work on this is both smart and brilliant! the cartooning is sickly funny and he still finds time to make fun of everyone, just like he does in all of his songs. these are all shows that were originally aired on the internet... and during the anger management tour. it's a lot like the sick and twisted comedy of south park, and he even makes fun of south park in this dvd! along with mary kate & ashley olsen, mase, christina aguilera, robert downey jr, ben affleck, matt damon, his mother, leonardo dicaprio, the gouverment, and much, MUCH, more! it also includes a lot of extras that the vhs doesn't. like behind the scenes footage, picture gallery, music videos, plus a never before seen episode! it's worth it! buy it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: AN EMINEM CARTOON? Err... YEP!
Review: I was very curious to see this Eminem cartoon. How is it? Well, I must say I was expecting a bit more... The cartoons are sometimes funny but, most of the time, dumb. It messes up with a lot of celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Versace, Christina Aguilera, Ben Affleck... It may be good for a few laughs.. There are about eight episodes in this DVD. There is also a fine Making-Of. Eminem does the voice actings of Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall Mathers (yes, there are these three characters). Paul Rosemberg does cool voice acting too... These cartoons were originally presented at the internet.. So, overall, it's worth a rent, not quite worth a buy, unless you're a hard Eminem fan...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good-spirited, tasteless...and FUNNY
Review: If South Park can be a little too tame for your taste, you might want to check out The Slim Shady Show.

The characters (loosely based on various Eminem alter-egos) and humor are more sophisticated than you might expect, even though it runs on the cruder side. Tastelessness abounds, quite often to the detriment of celebrities--Kurt Cobain, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr. are much abused--but always for the sake of comedy. And you don't have to be an Eminem fan to like it--his music never makes an appearance, though in the best episode, "Slimshank Redemption," Slim does some freestyling while in solitary confinement--a hilarious rant which sends up Eminem's style perfectly ("He's not even making sense anymore!" nerdy Marshall squeaks).

My personal favorite of the posse, Ken Kaniff (voiced by Eminem) is fashion-concious and man-crazy, and clearly the most fun. His act of raising Gianni Versace from the dead is by turns touching, hilarious, and results in new outfits for the gang and a great party. Anyone who accuses Em of homophobia might think twice after watching Ken in action.

This DVD loses a star for not having much in the way of extras. The "lost episode" should have stayed so and the picture gallery is pointless. The behind-the-scenes featurette is nice but basically fluff. I would like it to have been longer with more in-depth information. The D-12 video is well-conceived but musically listless. Buy this for the episodes alone, they are worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buy this DVD
Review: If You are a slim shady fan you need this movie. Now you can watch all the hilarious slim shady shows without waiting for it to down load. If you like south park you will love this. It takes you into the twisted mind of the best rapper of all time Eminem. Everything about this DVD is excellent. Do yourself a favor and buy this now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not bad...
Review: It has its moments but needs some polish, and I don't like how he did Everlast because 'Whitey Ford Sings the Blues' was off the chain. How the hell do you access 'the Ass and the Curious' bonus episode??

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: S'alright..
Review: It has its moments but needs some polish. And I don't like how he did Everlast.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Slim Shady Show kicks ...!!
Review: Of course it takes a certain kind of personality to fully appreciate the dark humor of Eminem, but if you are a fan this DVD is a MUST! It is absolutely HILARIOUS! I just can't tell you how much I've enjoyed it already. My only complaint is it's TOO SHORT! Watch it! You'll be glad you did!
