Yeah, Slumdog Millionaire.....solid A upon reflection. Not a tourism ad for India; that's for sure. (spoils)

All the child actors were great; which isn't an easy thing to do. I liked the narrative style, the three tiers of the current, the recent past, and the flashbacks.

it wasn't the movie I was expecting about a poor guy on a game show, but it was so much more rewarding and fantastic this way than my expectations.

Fully understand why it's getting all the awards hype.

Also, the theatre was about 90% full; kelly and I had to sit up front. For a small city that isn't culturally advanced; that was shocking to me.
