WARNING: Contains spoilers. (~if you haven’t watch this movie, you might not want to read the green part of this review) This movie has a very nice twist that I actually didn’t expect or would have guessed until it was revealed.
My only question was after the ’source’ was disclosed, since all is dead and gone; [...]

This movie is truly worthy to win the Oscar for Best Film. It is totally unique and exceptional. Everything from a Mumbai boy growing up in the slums and surviving a tough childhood, to becoming a contestant and how he came to know the answers to the questions then winning to become a millionaire is brilliantly woven into this remarkably original film. [...]

When my sister watched this film few months ago, she encouraged me to watch it especially since I travel a lot. Then one of my good friends was able to watch it too and told me I should definitely watch it as I travel extensively and maybe this movie will scare the s&*^ out of me [...]

It’s so sad this movie was butchered before it even came out and from what I read by Australian critics themselves…maybe not majority but more than enough to make this movie almost flop.

Kudos for Penelope Cruz for winning the Best Supporting Actress Award. She was totally insane in this movie and she played her role perfectly. A very nice film that has some realistic story of life from liberated and daring individuals who attractively fall in love with the wrong person, at the wrong time but ‘ maybe’ at the right place…romantic Barcelona!

There’s an award buzz in this movie for Anne Hathaway being nominated as Best Actress. She didn’t win, but she was good in this film. I don’t know about great…maybe because I totally can’t relate to the story. There’s nothing in it that’s familiar in my world. It was just too foriegn for me. It got [...]

This movie is not meant to entertain, but to incorporate the audience’s thoughts and feelings from the eyes of two little boys caught in the middle of World War II. It’s gripping and poignant to witness innocence, uncertainties and questions that will forever remain lost for these two young souls. A must see film!
