The Emperors new clothes, that sums up the reaction to this movie. This movie is the modern day "Slumdog Millionaire". One of the strangest Oscar decisions ever. It's not a bad movie by any stretch, but a masterpiece? LOLOLOLOL, no - not at all. The acting is average, there is little character development that is compelling, the script is boring, zero humor. At no point does this movie grip you and beg you to keep watching to learn where it goes. Years from now like "Slumdog" we will look back, especially at the cinematography and laugh at how great we thought this was.
