Questionable
I saw Slumdog Millionaire over the weekend. I highly recommend it, but one thing bothered me. A major part of the plot deals with the protagonist appearing on India's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (or, considering the exchange rate for the Rupee, Who Wants To Be Worth Half A Million Bucks). He tries to go all the way, yet the questions, for the most part, are too easy. I know this is fiction, but people have seen this show and know how tough the richer questions can be.

Didn't Howard Stern used to do a bit called "who wants to be a Turkish millionaire?" playing off the fact that 1MM Turkish lira was worth about $2 US?
In the movie, the top prize is 20 million Rupees. Right now, a Rupee's worth about two cents.
