English?

Rating: 6/10 (19 January 2009)

"Beautiful" scenery in the beginning of the movie, and as the main character tells his story, however i can't help but being bothered by that they speak English, and that Dev Patel still looks no older than 15, and is actually British. I agree with previous comments that the kids in this movie are doing the best acting. There is no chemistry between Latika and Jamal either. Patel plays this part no different from his part in Skins. And i have to say i don't know enough about India to actually embrace the feeling this movie gives. It's too easy and a bit disappointing.
IMDb user rating 8.7???????? As usual it feels like a bunch of Americans rated this movie, people who tend to be suckers for money and happy endings.
