Had mixed reviews of it, some saying its great, some saying it's rubbish, and entirely overrated.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

You got a rather untypical sample.  On Rotten Tomatoes, out of 208 media reviews, 94% were positive. Out of 3,526 RT community reviews, 90% were positive.  You don't get much less "mixed" than that. All the main UK press reviews are included and all are positive, though some try to make clear that they are serious critics - but still positive:


 Despite being overpraised - it arrives garlanded with the kind of reviews that must have come out after the opening night of King Lear - this is still very effective entertainment.

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian

Is it a great movie? For me, it falls well short. But I don't see how anyone could deny that Slumdog Millionaire is terrific, exhilarating, inspirational entertainment.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
