Nope.

I hate it when I go to a film and I wince.
The last time I did so (and all through the picture) was Baz Lurmann's Moulin Rouge.
I don't have a problem suspending my belief when I watch a movie; I'm willing to go along with the ride with any film-maker. I just don't like to have my intelligence urinated on; and once again, it happens, and the guilty party this time is Slumdog Millionaire.
It's a mess, pure and simple; the photography is all over the place (I HATE MTV and CSI) and the worst of it all I'm under the unspoken impression that I'm watching one barely subtle plug for the Who Wants to Be A Millionaire franchise.
I don't care if it took home every Oscar at this year's Academy Awards (and the ones they did win I'm totally convinced the Academy is using crystal meth), this is one Best Picture Oscar winner I will never add to my DVD collection.
A minus five stars, in my book.
