Summary: The story of how impoverished Indian teen Jamal Malik became a contestant on the Hindi version of "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" -- an endeavor made without prize money in mind, rather, an effort to prove his love for his friend Latika, who is an ardent fan of the show.
Despite the acclaim and obvious mainstream appeal, this film is riddled with plot holes and laughable twists. Enjoyed it as you do many films without exactly rating it highly.
A modern "It's a Wonderful Life" with shit pools and call centers. Sure, it's often corny and predictable, but it's happily so. Great ending. Those who hated this movie are a bunch of grouches.
Original setting, first part of the film is actually pretty good. The rest of the story is rather predictable and unoriginal. Worth watching for the setting though.
A colorful, beautiful and exotic fairytale - after viewing you won%u2019t know a lot more about the real India, but you may discover your inner romantic and believe a little bit more in answer D: Destiny than before. [Full Review]
Clichéd and melodramatic, sure, but Slumdog has such a big heart that none of this matters. Boyle captures the hectic lifestyle of the Indian slums on screen with incredible energy, warmth and colour. The actors, even the youngest ones, are marvellous and the basic love story in the heart of everything is compelling. And all this supported by a kickass soundtrack.
A fine fairy tale feature, full of energy and charm all the way through. It is occasionally manipulative (Jamal really gets put through the wringer) and I wasn't all that impressed with the characterization, but overall still quite engaging with Boyle's trademark dynamic style that works well in the Indian slum setting and with good performances from all the young actors.
Directed with energy and goodwill, but pretty uninteresting. Boyle play with dynamic framing, throbbing music and a brisk tempo, and he does it quite confidently and pretty well. But it's soft and traditional and dull in spirit, and ends up being more boring than fresh.
