A Thousand Miles Behind

3 1/2 stars out of 5

Three Idiots is cheesy, melodramatic and even corny. There’s just a lot of reasons to hate it but you won’t. Instead, it will warm your heart and make you feel like a kid again, ready to dream. 

The Good: Who knew? An almost three-hour film with dancing and singing? I thought I would go insane. But boy oh boy, did this film make time go by so fast! Likable actors, an incredible plot and lightning-fast pacing, this is Dead Poet’s Society 2.0. Ok, so maybe I got carried away. Seriously though, Hollywood should learn a thing or two from Bollywood. This film balances entertainment and values. That’s a rare thing in movies these days. Highly recommended for teachers to watch, but not for students, LOL! 

The Bad: I’ve laid down all the bad in this film. If you can’t take a bit of cheesiness, well, steer clear of this film. If you want to be entertained, sit down. You will like it.
