'Slumdog Millionaire' worth every penny

The last evening of my free time I spent watching "Slumdog Millionaire" with my best friend Jody at the Eden Prairie Center. Jamal Malik is an 18-year-old orphan from Mubai who has won the opportunity to play on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Malik's life and the answers to the game's questions are told through a series of flashbacks. I was totally rooting for Malik to win the girl and the money throughout the entire movie. "Slumdog Millionaire" is worth the $10 ticket stub and the cost of a DVD purchase.
