seen it already, worth watching

You know, the other night we could have watched this (we hardly ever go to the movies what with 3 kids), but thought it sounded heavy from the synopses (And we were after something fairly light), so went with Vicki Christina Barcelona... which was great, but this looks great.

He does a wide variety of film types doesn't he?

Great flick, and it isn't as heavy or syrupy as the trailer suggests. Thankfully, there is no Coldplay in the actual film.

The song you are probably referring to is not Coldplay's, it's Sigur Rós's Hoppiholla.

Great movie.

My Indian friends hate it though, since they say it will only solidify the negative view westerners have about India. Which is a strange thing to say, India maybe developing but its uneven development with large swathes of the land still being under developed.

This is a terrible trailer for a great movie: it gives away the whole story and lacks the great (mostly Indian) music that is in the film and gives it its spirit (unlike the music here that is/does not). The trailers seen here in Europe only proposed the first question with the four possible answers, showing that Hollywood believes Americans need to see the whole film in a minute or two before deciding that it fits their narrow tastes (as seen here in the transformation of a darkly humurous film of love, poverty, violence and destiny into a cheesy two-dimensional love story). Pityful.

All that to say: see the movie, but avoid this kind of trailer!
