Movie review: Slumdog Millionaire

I am often worried about moives that get a lot of hype in that you end up going in with a lot of perceptions about what this movie is or should be and often it doesn't live up. This is a movie that took those expectations and blew them out of the water.

I am sure that a good portion of you have already seen this movie, but if you haven't what are you waiting for? The story is amazing and told in a way that really works to give you the life story of its characters through flashbacks and keeps it interesting.

There are a lot of ways that you can look at this story, but for me it was an amazing look at devotion and redemption.

This movie is gritty and has a very 'real' feel to it. I hope that it does well at the Oscars - it really is deserving.
