Slumdog Millionaire

Release Date: 09-01-2009
Starring: Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor

Maxim Exclusive: Clips and interviews from Danny 'Trainspotting' Boyle's latest flick, a feel-good fairytale about India's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Danny Boyle's Indian fairytale tells the story of an 18-year old orphan on the verge of winning Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? Through his funny/harrowing flashbacks, he explains how he knows the answers. A nifty narrative ploy, but Boyle uses it to crowbar in far too many plotlines. It's entertaining, but not quite as brilliant as it could have been.
