On the afternoon of December 31st, while the boys watched Bedtime Stories with their cousin and grandpa, Lisa and I went to see Slumdog Millionaire (2008,R) (ScreenIt! Review). From the ScreenIt! Review:
I watched Born into Brothels last year, so I had a feel for what life is often like for kids in India's slums. I enjoyed the film. Several of the plot twists weren't hard to see coming (though Lisa turned out to be wrong about the prediction she made), and the love story was a bit over-wrought. Despite all the tragedy, it was enjoyable to watch the Indian kids' lives, and I couldn't help thinking about my kids while doing it. I'm kind of puzzled that it received an R rating...it seemed more like PG-13 to me.
I give it 4 out of 5.
