Pitt does good work, even if you're not a huge fan. I almost didn't want to see it either, but am glad I did. The more I think on it, though, I feel Dark Knight and WallE were better than most or all of the Bes pic nominees. I’d say it’s worth seeing. Pitt does good work, even if you’re not a huge fan.

Can I really be a straight American female??), so as a whole I don't have much interest. But there there's those darned 13 nominations... I’m not much of a Brad Pitt fan (gasp!

CCBB had elements that didn't work for me, but the central story was so charming and well done that I forgave it the bad bits. I didn't feel I had anything to forgive in Slumdog, though, so perhaps it's a better film since it worked as a whole for me, where CCBB didn't. But worth seeing for the visuals, and for the performances, not just of the leads. Slumdog had elements that I didn’t feel should work, but they did anyway.
