An extremely good movie. Some intense and disturbing scenes but through it all, wonderful to watch. I wouldn't classify this movie as a comedy as it's genre. Now nominated for 10 oscars including best director: Danny Boyle and Best Picture.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The movie has everything! The directing, the acting, the music - all top notch, excellent. So glad I watched this file in a theatre rather than at home on a dvd - it is deserving of every award. Some of it was difficult to watch but all in context of a beautiful, compelling film.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Danny Boyle always delivers the unusual and unexpected. Here he has interwoven the traditional Oliver Twist story with Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Each question leads to a flashback explaining how it is known and relevant to the storyline. But the real story is about Destiny. Keep your eyes focused on the opening question written on the screen and the end of the film.
This is an excellent heart wrenching tale of love and how it affects the lives of two brothers from poverty. Each follows a different path ordained by their destinies.
There are some laughs but this is not a comedy. It's a well written and powerful drama unlike anything that Hollywood offers and a must see,
Yes, I recommend this movie.

What I really enjoyed about this movie is about following your dreams don't give up for nothing. This is probably one of the best movies of the year with all its bright colors and classic Hollywood movie theme about dreaming. I think every actor was great in this especially the little kids and also this movies show United States who and what Bollywood is.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I found this movie riveting, emotional, and inspiring. While I found the movie ended a little to "fairy tale", I'd say the film was pitch perfect for a good 3/4 of the way through and after all the characters had to go through to just survive, forget be happy, I was pleased that people received their just desserts in the end.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is a 'must see' movie for so many reasons. After seeing it, you will be very grateful for what you have and for the wonderful Country that you live in and what it offers to everyone. It also shows that lifes experiences are all valuable. Even the most horrible experiences can lead you to something good in life if you do not let them paralyse you! We loved this movie. We laughed and cried and were very happy that we saw it.

Having worked in Mumbai for the past few years, I was amazed at how accurately this movie captured the visceral look and feel of Mumbai. The actors (young and older) did a fabulous job of portraying the unique aspects of what it is like to live and work in India.
Using the game show as a tool for revealing the experiences of the main character was creative, but potential viewers shouldn't be off put - this movie is not about a game show!
Go and see it at your first possible opportunity!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Having seen a great deal of poverty throughout the world, I was not shocked by the conditions shown in Mumbai. The story unfolded in a believable and sometimes predictable manner, although too violent at times for my taste. Be prepared to cover your eyes during a couple of particularly gruesome scenes. Still, I left with a feeling of hope, and am very glad to have seen this movie. I now understand why it was the darling at the Golden Globes.

A movie-lover's movie that brings out every emotion in you. The cinematography is excellent. You are involved in the story the whole time. Haven't seen a movie in months; nothing really compelling, like watching made-for-tv on the big screen. In THIS movie you connect with the character. You don't necessarily identify with them, you are there with them in all of their emotions. Some events are disturbing, but nothing excessive. It's a slice of one boy's life in a very large country. Terrific movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie restored my faith in film's story-telling abilities. Fantastic story-line with excellent direction by Boyle. In much his style, Boyle explores the truth about life, both sorrow and joy. I laughed, cried, had my heart wrenched out and in the end, was left with the feeling that things in life generally work out for the best for those who believe in the best.
No surprise at all that this is an award-winner.

A very good movie which kept us both enthralled till the end. The film gives a scary insight into what life was like in the slums of India. One hopes it was exaggerated for cinematic effect and no longer represents the true India. The message that you don't have to be a genius to handle these TV quiz's is well taken. The photography was stunning and the characterization solid if a little larger than life.
Definitely well worth seeing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I happen to go to India regularly so the harsher views were no surprise the way it may have been to others. But this is a wonderful movie, well directed, and very well played by these children who essentially make the movie. it shows a new and upcoming India and that is exciting too. Great music, great optimism and great overall entertainment. Enjoy this great movie.
