Movie Review: "Slumdog Millionaire" (2008)
This movie has received so much praise, there isn't anything I can add to what has already been said. It is said to be a "hymn to life" by some critics. Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, The Beach, Sunshine)is used to showing us gloomy facades and immediately sees the good in these dismal venues. Slumdog is no exception. He makes Mumbai a place pulsating with life and has us engaged in this tale about a boy who's fate brought him to the set of the Indian franchise of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Curiously, he knows the answers to pretty much every question thrown at him. The story focuses on how he got there in the first place, but most importantly, why.

My husband really wants to see this film. But since it's rated R, we're still waiting for an available copy at the nearby rental store so we could watch the edited version. I watched the trailer this morning (out of curiosity as to why he wants to watch it so bad) & now I wanna watch it, too!
