Slumdog Millionaire was pretty entertaining, if a little okay, as a recent Oscar winner

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2009)

Just watched this on a Blu-Ray DVD with my brother-in-law, an elderly aunt, and my mom and dad, both of whom left for long periods. This Best Picture winner being awarded at this year's Oscars, not to mention that of Best Director for Danny Boyle, was heartfelt to me when I watched the "Academy Awards" earlier several months ago. Despite that, I'm not sure if it actually deserved those awards. Still, I was for the most part touched by the various actors that played Jamal, his older brother Salim, and the girl Latika. And the suspense that surrounded Jamal's answering questions on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" were certainly pretty nail-biting especially concerning the host's treatment of him. So on that note, I highly recommend Slumdog Millionaire.
