Slumdog Millionaire deserves the praise it has gotten. Part game show, part drama, part romance - this film can appeal to anyone. It manages to be horrifying, humorous, upsetting and uplifting all at the same time. A very well-done film that I will see again and would recommend to almost anyone. Finally, the Academy Awards got something right.

This is a piece of art.
Well paced, awesome acting, incredibly good backgrounds.
What more can you ask?

Don't waste your time watching this. The script is full of India-seen-from-a-western-POW-clichés, the camerawork is murderous, and the child actors are a total pain in the a***. I gave up after just 40 minutes, couldn't take any more of it.
Back in the mid-90s a very well known and respected Spanish film critic, Carlos Pumares, once said: Cinema has only 25 years of life left.
And he was right.
The illustrious members of the Academy who awarded this piece of trash with EIGHT Oscars either are PC crusaders looking for a few medals or a bunch of morons who spend all day sitting on their brains.

It's a good movie but it's not the best. The first half of the film reminded me of "City Of God" about homeless kids in Brasil,but that film had far more violents kids.
The story will be fun for those who used to be hooked on the "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" quiz show.
Almost all of the story is told in flashbacks. It's one of those stories where all the little pieces fit together in the end to explain why things happened in the start of the film.
