...have to do, my friend, is go to Ted's Montana Grill. To tell you the honest truth, I can't tell the difference between bison and good beef.

His explanations all relate to his hard life as a homeless orphan in the company of his brother Salim (Madhur Mittal) and, not often enough, with the winsome, consistently abused Latika (Freida Pinto). Salim is a type-A troublemaker, a fighter and conniver, restless and reckless...

Really? Because I pictured a mom driving up to a hospital dropping off her kid and saying, "That's it, I'm done." No, nothing could be further from the truth. They may be ordered to provide services, ordered to participate in family therapy, and they may be ordered to pay child support. Parental rights are not terminated or ended when they leave the child at the hospital...
