My husband & i both really liked this film! It was an engrossing story & very poignant, with beautiful images of India. It was at times hard to watch as the story unfolded, but at the same time I was riveted and couldn't look away. A truly wonderful movie with fantastic performances by all!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

With al the nominations this movie got I expected much more from it.
Overall I found it to superficial and busy. The acting was good but not outstanding.
I liked to get a look at what life in the slums of India is like for children and also liked the music.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

The age appropriate actors did a great job depicting the characters at each stage of their lives. The struggles of poverty were familiar. The use of flashback to tell the story was well done. A love story, a fight for survival, a modern day Oliver Twist with a view of India and its great challenges.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A very well orchestrated movie that had all the aspects. It was touching but at the same time shows the darker side of life in poor communities of the world. The plot made it look more like a commercial movie rather than a documentary in my opinion. The music seemed to be very soulful and reverberating freshly.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Had no real clue to the plot of the movie before going so was happily surprised with the depth of the storyline.
Very well made, great pacing, enjoyed the acting, characters and actors.
Not sure I'd peg it as the favorite for best picture but it's a movie that stands out above the crowd of same ole' run of movies being made today.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Neither my husband nor I really knew what this movie was about but had heard the buzz about it so figured we'd check it out. We loved it! Although some of the images were difficult to watch, it just made it all the more real. The writing and acting were great and I ended up feeling so happy walking out of there. Just a great movie all around.

It is not often a movie delivers it all...cinematic eye candy, brilliant acting and a story line that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of all that life has to offer--despair, injustice, love, hope, loyalty and betrayal--the beautiful and the ugly. This movie is a classic and is well honored to be on your must see list.

Clearly a movie deserving of awards. Meaningful themes weave through the entire movie so watch closely. Puzzle as to why genre is "comedy" for trust me it is not a comedy. If not for the "R" rating every child in America should watch for them to better appreciate the wonderful life afforded in the United States. Movie gives a glimpse into Third World contitions and contrasts conditions of societies governed by the rule of law and those which are less such. If you have a spoiled, sef-centered teenager, take them to see Slumdog Millionaire. Maybe it will make them reevaluate what they hold valuable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was an amazing movie. The story was incredibly unique as was also an eye-opener to life in India (although 20 years ago) , It made me sit up and take notice- after the movie, I am driven to learn more about poverty, corruption, and orphans of India.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It made me laugh, groan in disgust, bristle with anger, and shed a tear of happiness! I think all Americans should see this movie just to remind them that, even with things as bad as they are right now, we still have it great compared to some countries. Love does conquer all.....

This was one of the most powerful movies I have seen this year. Beautiful story of a focused slumdog who keeps his eyes on the love of his life. Amazing images of India, the depressing and the hopeful parts. This movie made me excited, happy, optimistic, sad, and depressed all at the same sitting. Like I said, POWERFUL. My husband and I kept talking about it till late hours.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is a good movie, but not a great movie, a classic feelgood film. Predictable story line. Very good child actors, and the two leads are unforgettable. The one thing this movie helps you understand is the tremendous emergence of India as a world economic power, and the unbelievable contrasts between the poor and the wealthy, and the daily travails the poor must do to survive. I particularly liked the music and the editing style.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I left before this movie was over. It was horrible. We all know these sort of abuses and exploitations are common in some parts of the world but we don't need to go to bed at night with those images in our heads. It is deplorable that people think this is entertainment!
there were 5 people in the theatre. I think that speaks for the popularity of this sort of garbage.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Along with the wonderful acting by previously unknown actors, great cinematography, perfect music, and seemless time changing, this movie gives you more than stunning entertainment - it gives you an eye-opening, heart-awakening look into the tragic lives of so many marginalized and abused people. This is one movie that NEEDS TO BE SEEN...AGAIN. And then, this movie may just motivate us to work for justice beyond our own comfortable movie theaters.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie came from no where and delivered a masterpiece. I've read the negative comments about the film and I found several that seemed ignorant. Some stated that the film was too violent when this country invests billions of dollars into non-fictional horror movies repeatedly (ex. SAW). In addition, others stated that Indians would find this movie demeaning because of the strong scenes that were displayed for audiences to see. There are only a few countries that are as fortunate as America while others struggle in poverty and corruption. Yes, Indians may be disturbed by the movie but they also understand how their culture and country is just like how the Japanese felt when Pearl Harbor was released.
go watch and be amazed!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
