1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time    January 4, 2009

A pathetic excuse for entertainment. I was embarrassed for all of them as actors (the little girl was cute though, and it was not her fault that her parents let her work in a movie like that). There was a lot of profanity for a family theme. I thought it was going to be a good movie, but I was terribly wrong.


1 out of 5 stars Trash Marketed as a Fun Comedy    December 29, 2008

I don't know if I'm more grieved or outraged by this film; grieved that this is the kind of film choice that's out there when you want a fun, sit-back-and-enjoy movie to relax with, but especially grieved that this film has received so many accolades, a true reflection of how low we have sunk as a society. Where has our human dignity gone? I'm outraged that this film is marketed as a fun, bright (just look at the DVD jacket), family film-despite its R rating-but is packed with such dark topics, as suicide, pornography, illegal drugs, and topped off with more than a smattering of profanity. Also, the movie exploits the "Little Miss Sunshine" of the film, a delightful ten-year-old girl (give or take a year or two) who innocently performs a strip-tease (at least she remains decently dressed throughout), which she dedicates to her grandfather because he taught it to her. Oh, did I mention that by this part of the film the grandfather is dead from a cocaine overdose and is stashed in the trunk of the family car? Fortunately though, before the grandfather dies, he has the opportunity to leave his grandson (Li'l Sunshine's brother) with a bit a worldly wisdom: get lots of sex from as many young girls as you can before you get too old. Yep, great "heartwarming" family entertainment! This movie is like The Emperor's New Clothes; all the "importants" like Ebert and Sundance film critics have said how wonderful it is, yet in reality it's trash.

I love this movie. I have recommended Little Miss Sunshine to every person I know. You will see your own family in this dramatic comedy. Steve Carell and Abigail Breslin---AWESOME--as well as the rest of the cast.


5 out of 5 stars Modern Hollywood can't make a 5 star comedy - UNTIL NOW    December 22, 2008

I thought it couldn't be done. This is not the era of Lloyd, or Fields or Laurel and Hardy. It's not the era of Capra or Preston. 99% of modern comedies suck badly, and or are mean spirited.

But miracle of miracles, someone current, finally made an hilarious movie with a heart as big as "You Can't Take it With You!"

Credit here goes not to the very good cast but stunningly to the writer/directors: Michael Arndt - Screenwriter, co directed by Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris.

Brilliant, and wise. Not just a movie about dysfunctional, it's a movie where looser are shown to be the winners they really are, just for surviving, like all of us. Not a moment of saccharine either. It sharp and intelligent.

Beautiful, beautiful movie from beginning to end, and what an ending!

Now this film is a bit on the odd ball side, it is funny, and I like it, I don't think it was Oscar worthy, but then I didn't think the Movie "Babe" ( the pig one ) was best Movie and it won, "Apollo 13" was much better for that yrs Oscar, but Hollywod didn't want Tom Hanks to have 3 in a row..politics...lol Anyway as I was saying it's a cute film but NOT for kids.....The "F" word is used a lot.
