I really enjoyed this movie. The plot was entertaining and suspenseful. While a few things could be predicted because of simple movie formulaics, the movie still kept my attention and kept me invested and involved. I could not stop talking about it when I left.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie is a great example for families to show their kids how life in other countries is such a struggle. It also shows how being true to yourself and never to give up no matter what can reward you in many ways.
Is the movie a bit predictable? Yes, but so worth it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Very accurate portrayal of India and it's conditions. Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in years. 6 members of my family went together 2 weeks ago and we are still talking about it and referring it to friends. A little hard to catch all the Indian nuances and the accent can take a little getting used to as well, but stay with it, it's well worth it. We have Indian relatives and they have shed even more light on some of the situations in the movie and agree that is is a very accurate portrayal.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Through flashbacks the movie reveals how an orphan from Mumbai's slums could win the jackpot in India's version of I Want to be a Millionaire. The reality of life in the slums is portrayed in stark contrast to today's modernizing society in a slightly contrived love story between two compelling young people. Non stop action and music, Bollywood style, with terrific acting. See it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

One of the best movies I have seen since "Amadeus!" Superb acting and direction.
Loved the editing....especially, the way the editor moved back and forth in time. The storyline was amazing. Kept me guessing at every turn. This movie has everything! Fantastic music, excellent acting, wonderful story, beautiful shots of the Taj Mahal, and great music! It even has a "Bollywood" dance production. You won't be disappointed. GO SEE IT!

The task for any moviemaker is to create a continuous flow of "what will happen next?" and Boyle satisfies that with a consistency which leaves an afterglow of warmth and optimism. And a vote for the value of character. When have you found a protagonist doing the right thing EVERY TIME? This movie is a jewel.

Ever watch a movie that is so new that is it breathtaking? Slummy is one of these until the last reel. Then it becomes cliche and predictable. Good guys win, cell phones unanswered, bad guys getting their comeuppance, you know...
A shame, really, since the first two thirds are fresh and fascinating.

Judging by the rest of the reviews, I guess I am the only one whose life this movie did not change. It was okay. I was expecting something a little lighter and was not prepared for how dark the film is. As noted in other reviews, it was beautifully filmed and the actors are appealing...but it just didn't grab me the way it seems to have grabbed others in this forum. Don't hate me.

Slumdog Millionaire developed a storytelling tecnique that keeps the audience's attention. You really can't look away from the graphic depiction of India's poorest sections as the background story develops. A love story on 2 fronts sets up a climactic ending that brings so many emotions out, you'll be talking about it for weeks. Tremendous acting from many unknowns and a terrific story. A must see.

Although this movie was pretty good, it was not amazing as some have said. In fact, my theatre lightly appluaded afterwards. Its a well told story with some very good child performances but the love story and ending were unbelievable. The "insight" into the country's horrible conditions is important element and the cinematography is wonderful.

this movie have gotten so much hype that i had expected it to be spectacular. it was indeed a good movie and gave insights into the slums of india. it was a bit repetitive in the middle and predictable. i wished they played more off their childhood - growing up with a single mom, events leading up to the attack.
i've seen other india-based movies which did a better job in portraing the society. throughout the movie you do root for jamal and lakita.

There are few movies that my wife and myself walk out on, This one almost made that list. After seeing it we know now that this movie is on our do not ever rent list. This is by far the worst movie we have seen in a long time. The only reason we went in the first place was on the suggestion of the employees of Harkins. How this move could be considered a comedy we do not know. It had a very shallow plot and a lot of violence.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
