Yo Moviegoers, I just saw the best movie. Slumdog Millionaire. It's playing at the incomparable Palm Theatre. This is a fantastic romantic adventure.
It tells a fascinating story of two brothers, Jamal & Salim from a slum in Mumbai, Bombay to y'all stuck in the 20th century. This is an epic that does not disappoint as it follows the boys and a girl they befriend.
Jamal befriends and ultimately falls in love with Latika but life is not simple for orphans running loose in India and the kids have some serious scrapes. Jamal is on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and how this uneducated slumdweller can answer the obscure questions is the spine of the plot.
Powerful romance, action adventure, fascinating glimpses of an exotic culture, great story, beautiful photography and people. Ya gotta see Slumdog Millionaire, it is wonderful. It's at the Palm.
