Highly Overrated.

Rating: 1/10 (10 April 2011)

Slumdog Millionaire
Plot: The main character Jamal (Dev Patel) lived in the slums for most of his life. Jamal is on the game show "Who wants to be a millionaire?" and for every question that is asked, there is flashback to Jamal's life and that's how he answers each question. For every event that happened in his life, there's a question about it. The police suspect he's cheating because he's from the slums, meaning he isn't well educated enough to know all the answers.
Would I Recommend It: I definitely wouldn't recommend this film. There is no real plot or purpose in the film. Throughout the whole film it's just about Jamal's past, which gets rather boring. I can't understand why people say this film is really good, nothing much really happens. And there is no real purpose to the film. It's just Jamal answering questions on the game show.
Why I gave It The Rating I Did: I gave it a rating of 1 star because I don't think it's worthy of anything more. I didn't enjoy the film at all, all the way through the film I was waiting for something "good" to happen. There was no purpose at all to the film.
Slumdog Millionaire is definitely one of those films which is highly overrated. Before watching this film I'd heard people say it was amazing and the best film of 2008. After I'd watched the film I felt highly let down. Save your time for something worthwhile.
