i've been reading some of these negative reviews and these people are crazy. i debated on seeing this movie for some time now and i'm sooo glad i did actually see it. this was by far one of the very best movies i've ever seen. between all the extreme conditions these kids have to go through, to the excitement of Jamal being on the game show not for the money but to find his soulmate, to the most beautiful love story between Jamal and Latika, to the devotion Jamal has to finding this girl - all i can really say is wow. kudos to all the actors, including the very small ones and especially Danny Boyle. and a very special thanks to Dev Patel and Frieda Pinto. these two will go very far in their careers and they deserve it.
