While it sounds slightly similar to SLUMDOG, I'm sure it'll have its own identity. Richard Curtis is an underrated genius. The kind of character-based humor he writes, where we never laugh AT the characters, but laugh with the recognition of our shared humanity when they make mistakes, is SO much harder to write than the nasty stuff that fills 99% of comedies. And he understands structure and well-developed supporting characters like nobody's business. He's one of the greats.
