This is a great film. A great film is dependent on a number of things. The most important being a good story. This is a GREAT story. It follows the lives and troubles of a group of "slumdog" kids from the poorest parts of India. It was beautifully directed by Danny Boyle who never disappoints. By the end you feel very attached to the characters, and you want them to succeed. But will they??? You'll have to watch to find out.
