Slumdog Millionaire

Two weeks ago I finally got to a theater to see Slumdog Millionaire. It's entertaining, fast-paced, and clever. It's a story of two orphan brothers, a tragedy, and a love story. It's an action movie, a drama, a travelogue, and at times a comedy. The cinematography is beautiful. It has a feelgood ending and I was glad for the Bollywood dance number they included for the closing credits.
