I went to see this movie knowing nothing about it at all. It was in limited release at the time. From the tiny bit I was told about it, I thought it would be awful. I was blown away. I walked out of the theatre in awe. It was the best movie I have ever seen. It was not the usual flashback movie. I was able to follow the entire movie and never lost track of what was going on, as is usual in flashbacks. I was so excited when it came to my town so that I can take my family to see it. I was not surprised at all when I heard it was nominated for best picture.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I didn't know what to expect, but I left after 2 hours that were well spent. I thought the editing and photography was excellent, and using flashbacks to explain the story was done in a novel way. The R rating is unnecessary. Maybe a PG 13. I would feel comfortable taking a teenager to this movie. It's movie that combines a number of classic tales: lost love; good vs evil; redemption. All told in a light, but not cloying fashion. Very good.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is the best movie I've seen in a long while. Surely, it will garner a dozen Academy Award nominations.
While we've all seen flashback movies, this one stands out. The game show experience drives the back-story of the protagonist, which allows the viewer to see and feel the shaping forces of Indian society as it becomes industrialized, as well as how the change affects those who must deal with it to survive. And the ramifications of choices made.
Look for a dozen Oscar nominations for this film. There is so much substance here, it would require words way in excess of this review to discuss it all...
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Slumdog Millionaire was such a well-told and brilliantly acted story. Everything from the screenplay to the acting to the editing was fantastic. All the elements came together brilliantly to enrapture the viewer so much that you don't even realize the movie is over two hours long. It has been quite some time since I could review a movie with this much praise, but Slumdog Millionaire deserves all this and more.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Slumdog is an amazing look into the modern transformation of India through the eyes of its most neglected yet largest population group. This is foremost a fairy-tale story about love, but also at showing how those with nothing to loose in life can have the most impact on its outcome. The action and cinematography pacing are non-stop and the director's sense of color and music create one of the most lively film presentations seen all year. Definitely a must see.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I'm not a big indy film person but this movie was sooo good. It's a rollercoaster ride; you are glued to your seat from the opening scene to the end credits. The musical score was top notch and the cinematography was absolutely brilliant. I'm not sure why they call it comedy though - it's more of an action/drama flick.
I absolutely loved this film and will be seeing it again in the next few days. Very highly recommended!!

I enjoyed the movie very much. It was a very realistic portrayal of life in India I think. I was just in India (Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim) last Aug/Sept. It looked just like the movie ... trash and open sewers - glad they don't have "smell-o-rama" at the movies because the whole country stinks. The people there are so nice though - just like the rest of the world, 99.9% are just like you or I and 1% are the scum of the earth...

I loved this movie. It's creative and powerful in its message. As much as we hear about India and it's move into the 21st. century, there's so much chaos and poverty for millions of people there. I hope this piece goes all the way to the Academy Awards!

Let's talk Hip-HOP: Gangsters. Street kids. Hookers. And COPS. But instead of New York City or Los Angeles as the back DROP let;'s travel to another country. STOP!
How about India? Throw in a popular game show and welcome to a gripping film that unearths India's dark underworld through the eyes of a child. Where the ghetto life of two brothers is poignant, disturbing and as twisted a tale as Oliver Twist on acid!
Take a trip on the WILD SIDE with Slumdog Millionare! And let me know what YOU think!

This movie has an interesting premise. In Mumbai (Bombay) a young man raised an orphan in the slums winds up on India's version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". He improbably knows so many quiz answers that he is suspected of cheating. The unfolding of the movie shows how he came to know these factoids. A good and uplifting movie, but the rapid cuts and bombastic score is, frankly, assaultive. And India doesn't look very nice.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
