kabirmohamad A very beautiful film for family ties and very good acting and beautiful music
camilleesteve 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.

egasulla I just realized that three of my favorite films ever (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Broken Flowers and this one) come from a three-year period. And I've been watching movies since the 1960s. You would think 2004/2006 was a golden period in the history of movies -yet I feel there was a whole lot of crap too, these three were just jewels in the mud.LMS is, in many ways, like many other indie movies. Characters are dysfunctional, weird, losers -in other words, ordinary humans. There is a lot of comedy, some drama, and some variable material that can make you laugh or cry depending on your mood. Family members hate, ignore and sometimes tolerate each other. And then comes the unlikely, improbable, crazy happy ending -one that must have seemed so ridiculous in words, in a script, that I am amazed a crew of directors, actors and producers made it into a movie, no matter how indie minded they were.And yet it is believable in a way a group embrace and a chorus of tearful "I love you!" would not be. It is screw-it-all liberating, something that rarely ever comes out that neatly in real life. But it is heart warming as very few other movie endings, yet crazier than most. If the standard Hollywood recipe for losers-turned-winners is just silly, and the most common indie "it is what it is" finale is typically bleak though believable, this one broke the mold. In a good (great!) way.
