Sentimental, dark, nearly perfect movie.
When talking about dysfunctional families, you can't get much better than this one. Little Miss Sunshine is a perfect blend of dark humor, emotion, and sentimental moments. It mixes both the positive and the negative emotions throughout each character, showing what each ind... read more
Overrated, but solid comedy/drama
Little Miss Sunshine is ostensibly a road trip movie concerning the realisation that family is family. It's a wholly daunting task to reinvent the family road trip genre in this contemporary era of cinema, especially if the filmmakers are aim... read more
A very good movie

The Best of Toni Collette (15 movies items)" Sheryl Hoover "You know, like it or not, we're still your family, for better or worse...""
“Sheryl Hoover (Toni Collette) is trying hold this crazy family together. Her brother Frank Ginsberg (Steve Carell) is just released after his suicide attempt. Her husband Richard (Greg Kinnear) is a bad motivational speaker who is always talking about winning except he's a loser himself. Her son Dwayne (Paul Dano) is tired of his family, and has vow to be silent. Grandpa Hoover (Alan Arkin) was kicked out of his nursing home for misbehaving. Finally daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) is so excited about getting into the Little Miss Sunshine pageant.
The reason this movie works is that I love these characters. I love everybody except for the dad. They are just so weirdly likable. They are the essence of an underdog story. I love this family, and it's not only for the cute little gir” read more
Silence is GoldenShe's kickin' ass... that's what she's doing.
“Warning: SpoilersLittle Miss Sunshine is an evoking offbeat family comedy drama.
It includes bad characterization, sub-par dialogue and odd scenes, but I still consider it a great film, with stuff that holds true and brings about joy. Kinnear and adorable little Breslin star, along with quality performances by Collette and Arkin.” read more

Best Picture Nominees (in Ten Sentences) (478 movies items)"When I was in high school, one of my first introductions to the quirky comedies of the 2000’s was "Little Miss Sunshine."
