The story was good. I was enlightened about poverty in India. However, I rarely like Academy Award winning movies. This one was no exception. Not as good as all the hype suggested. It seemed demoralizing in a weird way.
You will surely know what kind of movie you are going to see...if you do, you will like it. It is what it is. Campy and cutsey. If that isn't what you want, go see something else. I like all kinds of movies and went to see Shopaholic when I was in the mood for it.
