Wouldn't this movie be better with Seth Rogen and James Franco?

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2009)

Think about it: How much cooler would Slumdog Millionaire be if James Franco was in the millionaire hot seat while high as a kite? And wouldn't the train scenes be ten times funnier with the two 30-year-old potheads? This movie pretty much is Pineapple Express in India. Just look at the similarities: big-time mob bosses, two young boys on the run, a hot chick, and there's a scene when they're smoking hookah! The movie could definitely use Seth Rogen's comic relief. Slumdog Millionaire seems to take itself a little too seriously; maybe it should smoke some weed and just chill! And it would help the film develop a broader fan base too. Look at me! Do I care about poverty in India? Of course not. But I love smoking weed!
