Critic Review - Boston Phoenix

In retrospect it remains implausible and manipulative while still making elegant sense.

this movie could well be described as another pathetic attempt by Britishers and Americans to show that life is ****ty in the slums-especially when you're covered in ****? what is the point of showing the poor kid covered in ****? in a not too subtle way Danny Boyle has pretty much told the world what Britishers think about Indians-that they are ****ty idiots-well i guess i should personally thank all the reviewers for writing all this bullcrap about gritty realism when actually they mean-whoa-what a good way to rip off another bunch of stupid Indians

SM is highly overrated and enjoyable to those who know nothing about India and it's people.
