I went into slumdog not thinking much really the plot from the trailer didn't really look good. I saw it because i like danny boyle's films and i was board at work (i work at a cinema). All i can say is thank god i was board was i ended up seeing one of the best films so far in 2009. The story worked great yes it seems a bit simple like a guy ask this person a question and he looks back in his life to get the answer but it was great fun, funny, sad everything really about how this boy didn't have much going in his life and it all gets good for him at the end it does what it says on the tin. Its a feel good film. So to sum up if you think this film doesn't look good from your point give it a go. You will be shocked at how good it is
On first review before seeing this I thought it would be a gameshow centred drama which to an extent it is....but it is much much more...How the story intertwines with two brothers brought up in the slums of Mumbai in India only to see their mother killed and their race for survival against Religious bigotry and gangsterism is totally sublime...But how Jamal and his brother Salim take totally different paths in life involving their own issues with each other is another story. The Director is ingenius in the way he implicates Jamal's experiences in growing up with his ability to answer the questions whilst being unexpectedly chosen for India's who want's to be a millionaire...This is a truely unique film which involves Jamal's love for Latika a girl he fell in love with from an early age only to lose her again but never giving up his quest to find her once more....The film is heartwarming, inspirational but most of all one of the best films to hit celluloid in quite some time....a complete masterpiece....watch it and find out for yourself...Very highly recommended

The film is amazing, you may think it is over rated , but it is magnificent. The picture quality is superb, and the audio is pristine. You can feel the aeroplane go right over your heads on surround sound
