Slumdog Millionaire! Go see it! (page 2)

We drove 45 miles to see it yesterday. Got to the ticket counter 5 mins before it was supposed to start. It had started 20 mins before. The schedule posted on the net was wrong. We'll catch it on DVD sometime. Beautiful day for a 90 mi. drive.

That sucks that you didnt get to see it after all that. Its well worth it though IMO.

a funny and thoughtful film. Each 5 min segment seems to have a story within itself and lays ugliness and brutality side by side with beauty and heroism.

I enjoyed it very much. Thumbs up from me.

Great synopsis QL. Thank you.

We went to see it last week and really enjoyed it.

We have been to Mumbai 5 or 6 times, and we lived in India in the late 90's so have a feel for the location and the culture. A very clever put together story and the acting from the kids was outstanding. Finally, don't jump up to go when the credits start at the end or you'll miss the only Bollywood style song and dance routine at the end.

No one got up at the end it was so unusual. I loved the dancing.

Excuse me Gregor, are you mad or what?

It's one of the best films I have ever seen, I absolutely loved it. I cannot believe the quality of the acting from the children in this film, absolutely superb.

I can't recommend it highly enough, it takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions and keeps you spellbound throughout. It certainly deserves all the awards it's been receiving.

Slumdog Millionaire! Go see it!
