Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

A very beautiful film for family ties and very good acting and beautiful music

Little miss sunshine is a dramatic comedy created in 2006 by Jonhatan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The movie was shot in the USA. This characters are very sweet and funny but the family is dysfunctional. The little girl called Olive is very cute because she has big glasses and she looks innocent. The grand father takes drugs and Dwayne, Olive's brothert has made a vow of silence because he wants to join the flight academy. We don't recommend this film because it is boring and the scenes are often repeated.

Fox Searchlight's 2006 surprise indie hit 'Little Miss Sunshine' is a film that accomplished one thing more than anything else - it got audiences to feel better about their own families. Set in the American southwest, we follow the Hoover family as they race to Redondo Beach in their VW van to have 7-year-old Olive (Abigail Breslin) take part in the stereotypically scary "Little Miss Sunshine" beauty pageant. Cue the crazy.Between the heroin-addicted patriarch (Alan Arkin), the suicidal uncle/brother (a 'The Office'-era Steve Carrell), a purposely mute nihilistic teen (Paul Dano) and a hopeless, wannabe motivational speaker (Greg Kinnear), it's a lot for the arguably only sane person in the family - Sheryl Hoover (Toni Collette) - to handle. There are so many ridiculous antics that unfold during the 800-mile trek, from their beaten down VW suffering mechanical troubles to an awkward roadside diner breakfast that every family can relate to.What really makes 'Sunshine' work is the writing. Written by Michael Arndt, the quirkiness comes through in every line in the script, without feeling forced or gimmicky. There's also a lot of emphasis on character development - something that's crucial for a film that relies so heavily on an ensemble cast - and the dysfunction almost seems like an art form. It's no surprise the writing resulted in an Oscar for best original screenplay.It may not be the best comedy ever, but 'Little Miss Sunshine' is a fun, zany ride through the challenges of family life and a commentary on the fact that beauty really is skin-deep.

If you want to laugh this is for you. If you want to cry this is for you. If you want to feel good this is the movie for you.Narrative has plethora of different characters revolving around one central character(Little miss). All the different characters are coming from various perspectives and are at different stages of life. For some life turned out to be difficult, treacherous, for some it was a string of missed opportunities, some believe they lost at it because they didn't play hard and well just some don't give a f***. Our protagonist is presented with all different point of views and in the end it's these people who are in for a surprise.The message of the movie is about accepting who are and be happy about it. The beauty contests that have world has created for various reasons don't make any sense. Nobody is in competition with anyone else. As everyone's story is different and all are going in different directions. So it's useless to compare.Just do whatever you want to do and give your best shot. Don't get bogged down by societal pressure or try to fit in any definition of beautiful or successful someone else has created for you.For even if you lose, you are not a loser, You are Little miss Sunshine. Dance.
