- SOOO MUCH CATCHING UP TO DO! Do you know when I actually saw this movie? I was at school. It was before finals. It was outdoors on a field at night projected on a giant screen. I'm such a trendster.
- I purposely wait long amounts of time to see the critically acclaimed Oscar film, especially one that doesn't appeal to me in the first place. This is so that I can not be swept up in all of it and possibly form my own opinions on the matter. Hence why I was underprepared on Oscar night for the domination that was this movie. Anyway, my opinions were formed. I didn't necessarily like this movie.
- It was extremely predictable and very unsubtle about it's foreshadowing. I don't like when foreshadowing attacks me. I like to have to look for foreshadowing or see it upon second viewing. This movie, not so much of that.
- I understand the whole plot like, oh look at all the random happenstance that allows him to know all these answers! AMAZING. But I mean, come on. All the questions happened to have stories that flowed chronologically? MIX IT UP.
- I understood the tribute to bollywood with Jai Ho but it really didn't fit at all. I didn't like it.
- Love Dev and Frieda, I think they're adorable and I would like them to be in more things that I'll actually appreciate.
