I saw this on Wednesday via SeeFilmFirst. Lots of very obvious dialogue, it re-inforced some basic stereotypes, you can guess what eventually happens to the brother, and of course he gets the girl.
The film dragged, I didn’t notice any excited chatter on the way out. Feel-Good Film of the Decade? Fraid not.

Personally, I enjoyed the film, but of course it wouldn’t do if we all liked the same sort of thing! I can recommend Vikas Swarup’s “Q&A” though – the book on which the film is based.
