Slumdog Millionaire (2008) - 4 stars

One Sentence Plot Summary: A young man who grew up in the slums of Mumbai does well on a trivia game show and we learn about the life circumstances that allowed him to know each answer.

Starring: Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Madhur Mittal, Saurabh Shukla

Best of: It's rare that Oscar rewards such an all around feel-good movie. The soundtrack is superb...and you can't beat a movie that ends with a random elaborate dance number.

Worst of: Freida Pinto has yet to propose to me.

Notable: He's actually not a millionaire. $20 million rupees is worth a little more than $400,000. Slumdog Thousandaire is a dumb title though.
