Excellent movie. Never really been into this kind of film but saw it on TV and really enjoyed it so decided to get a dvd copy. Good story line, actor performance and just a generally good movie.

Slumdog Millionaire has been very much the topic of conversation as far as films go this year, and righfully so. The movie also picked up a number of oscars, including best picture and best actor. Once again this is absolutely justified. Slumdog Millionaire is a fantastic movie and another hit for the UK film industry and director Danny Boyle. Dev Patel stars as a contestant on India's version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. The movie starts with a question asking how he goes on to win the top prize. Did he cheat? Was it destiny? He is a genious? Was it luck? Then the movie begins.... We follow Jamal Malik from his childhood as a kid in the slums of Mumbai living in poverty and growing up with no education. His life is harsh and he is certainly no genious and not rich. He ends up appearing on the show as it is the favourite of his love - Latika. The questions he is asked all have relevance to an aspect or event in his life and it is fascinating watching the story unfold and the questions rolling on. Jamal is suspected of cheating but he explains his life story to the police who begin to realise that he is telling the truth. This is one of the best movies in recent years and I'm sure will go on to be a classic. Boyle directs superbly, the clever camera work and stunning scenery of India really helps to create an atmosphere and to emphasise the quality of life that Jamal has as a teen. The actors are brilliant and the movie is gripping and exciting throughout. I enjoyed Slumdog Millionaire immesnely and I'm sure you will too, a great movie.Read full review
Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire is the film equivalent of Usain Bolt's performance at the Olympics: funny, shocking, spectacularly turbo-charged. It takes your breath away at the same time as it makes you want to holler with joy or to grab the person next to you: "Yes!"
Great acting by mostly unknown actors. Lovely storyline where young people lose everything but gain lots of life experiences which end up being useful in an unusual way. We all love an underdog who comes out on top! Great film that leaves a warm glow!
