Thumbs down Slumdog Millionaire movie

After being blown away by Q & A by Vikas Swarup, I decided to watch the movie. Ugh. It may be a good movie in its own right, but the story is COMPLETELY different. I was so disappointed to see the trumped-up love story (the character of Latika doesn't exist in the book) and all the other changes.

I normally expect to be disappointed by film adaptations of books I love, but this one is worse than average, because so little of the original exists in the film.

Now I want to read the book, because I quite liked the movie, but didn't realize it was that much different...

I think if they make a movie from a book they should follow the book! Otherwise give it a different title. Call it "inspired by..." or whatever but not the same title as the book.
