8 Blatantly Misleading Movie Posters Slumdog Millionaire
"The Feel-good film of the decade" trumpeted Slumdog's candy-coloured promo poster. "Which decade? The 1940s?" we all wondered.

While we loved the poster for brightening up our bus stops, it oversold the confetti factor just a little.

Guess it wasn't that misleading after all. Read More
