Pros: Script, Cast, Direction Cons: One tiny bit over the top character
It’s no secret that I love a good dysfunctional family movie. Usually I go straight for the indie drama version of said family. You see, it can be hard to pull off a dysfunctional family comedy - they’re often either too dark to be funny ...
Pros: Cast, script, direction Cons: Goes a little over the top sometimes
Life is hectic around the Hoover household. The husband, Richard (Greg Kinnear), is trying to sell a motivational book, but he can't even get his literary agent, Stan Grossman (Bryan Cranston), to return his calls. On top of that, Richard can't even ...
Pros: Cast. Very entertaining movie. Cons: Could be too different for some people.
Starting in the summer of 2006, I started to hear and read mostly positive things about Little Miss Sunshine, an independent movie that seemed to come out of nowhere. The movie managed to become very popular and even went on to receive ...
Pros: Some very fine acting from Alan Arkin. A few moments of humour. Cons: Lots of cliches. This is a movie I never want to see again.
Dysfunction, whether it be at home or in the workplace, seems to be the theme of the day in film and television. Families that can't get along, resentment and underhanded dealings at the job, friends that happily sabotage each other instead of being ...
Pros: new types of comedic elements, interesting and funny, Carrell Cons: unexplored characters, some unfulfilled promise
A film about a mis-matched family, Little Miss Sunshine seemed to be more of a character study than a motion picture. Publicized as much for its original storylines as for its great ensemble cast, the story blends humor with dramatic overtones, ...
Pros: Hilarious and distrubing all at once, great characters Cons: Some situations were almost too unfunny
Little Miss Sunshine is an incredibly uncomfortable dark comedy about a dysfunctional family’s road trip to a beauty pageant that their little girl is certainly doomed to lose. This highly original and atypical comedy will make you laugh and ...
Pros: Funny, entertaining, great movie Cons: Some vulgar language that could have been toned down by Alan Arkin, particularly.
It's not too often that a movie comes out as quirky, original and thoroughly entertaining as Little Miss Sunshine, sure to be the latest breakout independent movie to surprise as a very entertaining hit. From start to finish, this movie is ...
Pros: Great ensemble cast, black comedy with heart. Cons: Child beauty contest! icch
I don't know why I didn't see this indy film that could sooner. I guess the advertisement campaign showing a group of people running along side a bright sunshine yellow VW mini bus didn't appeal to me, but I am glad I finally saw this gem of a movie ...
Pros: Performances that were wasted on a sucky film (and that is a pro) Cons: EVERY LAST THING
Only very rarely do I bother reviewing a film that has more than 10 reviews already. This one stands to be the 40th review of Little Miss Sunshine. The reason I feel compelled is that the reviews for this film have been overwhelmingly positive. ...
Pros: great cast, funny and rather sweet Cons: plenteous profanity, crudeness
I tend to be pretty wary of R-rated films, but I keep expanding my movie horizons and finding movies that are quite good under all that profanity, which I can mentally censor much more easily than violence. I've become more forgiving of crudeness as I ...
Pros: hilarious, poignant, full of great performances Cons: not easy to sell or distribute
It took me long enough to see this one, but Little Miss Sunshine is my favorite film of 2006. It's the story of a dysfunctional family, clinging together for dear life, but unlike so many films about dysfunctional families, this one is neither maudlin ...
The Sundance Film Festival has always been known for finding new talents and films that eventually became a hit or more. In the past ten years, films like Boys Don't Cry, Secretary, Donnie Darko, thirteen, American ...
Pros: Story, acting, humor, pathos, music, pace, accuracy of detail Cons: The ending veers too close to cute wrap-up, but that's OK.
Little Miss Sunshine, an indie-spirited first feature from husband and wife directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie, deserves all the kudos and raves it had been receiving since debuting at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006. Part comedy, part ...
Pros: A very funny, and very intelligent movie with a few forgivable flaws Cons: Some situations are really hard to believe
Making good movies is not easy. One recipe is to pick an established movie director like Spielberg or Stone, provide them with 100-200 Mill to spend for super-blockbusters like War of the Worlds or World Trade Center, and stick a major ...
Pros: The ensemble; well done dark comedy. Cons: Timing was off with the developments in the JonBenet case. Spooky.
Little Miss Sunshine was a fine film to see at a sneak preview. Audiences who see the trailer and hear the buzz will expect a comedy, but though there are some moments of hilarity, make no mistake, this is a dark comedy. At the sneak, we didn’t ...
Take a hilarious ride with the Hoovers, one of the most endearingly fractured families in comedy history.Father Richard (Greg Kinnear) is desperately ...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
