"There's two kinds of people in this world, there's winners and there's losers. Okay, you know what the difference is? Winners don't give up."

Since I kept hearing good things about this flick, I thought I should check it out. Eventually, I thought it was a very good movie. Basically, It is a typical quirky indie drama/comedy movie but they managed to create some really touching characters instead of the usual excentric caricatures. Indeed, it deals with a familly and, basically, they are actually all losers but, and that's the genius of... read more

“Little Miss Sunshine is a fun journey through the eyes of seven year old Olive, who is a little girl that dreams of being a pageant winner. Olive lives with her dysfunctional family, who help Olive on the way of making her dreams come true. The family set out on a road trip, that will not only help Olive but themselves. This is a non stop joyfull movie, I loved every minute of it. If you want to relax and just escape for a few hours, then put this movie on it is very funny and very good.” read more

Year By Year Of My Favorite Flix (94 movies items)

"A suicidal gay uncle, an unspoken emo brother who dreams of flying jet fighters, a motivational-speaking dad who always seems to be out of touch, a seven year old out of shape, pangeant-contesting "super-freak", and a heroin-addicted grandpa with the power to spout out Oscar-worthy expletives, all capped off by a mom who likes to serve popsicles for dessert. These are all the characters you need to provide a big yellow vehicle such as this one with a solid push. "

"Most people either didn't see, or understand this dark comedy drama. A dysfunctional family is brought together by a beautiful seven year old girl, whom they all love. The way they all come together in the end is hilarious and deeply moving."
