Summary: Don't waste your time
Comment: 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.

Summary: Trash Marketed as a Fun Comedy
Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Summary: Modern Hollywood can't make a 5 star comedy - UNTIL NOW
Comment: 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!

Comment: 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.

Take a hilarious ride with the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families in comedy history. Father Richard (Greg Kinnear) is desperately trying to sell his motivational success program...with no success. Meanwhile, "pro-honesty" mom Sheryl (Toni Collette) lends support to her eccentric family, including her depressed brother (Steve Carell), fresh out of the hospital after being jilted by his lover. Then there are the younger Hoovers?the seven-year-old, would-be beauty queen Olive (Abigail Breslin) and Dwayne (Paul Dano), a Nietzsche-reading teen who has taken a vow of silence. Topping off the family is the foul-mouthed grandfather (Alan Arkin), whose outrageous behavior recently got him evicted from his retirement home. When Olive is invited to compete in the "Little Miss Sunshine" pageant in far-off California, the family piles into their rusted-out VW bus to rally behind her?with riotously funny results.
