I can't believe this movie simultaneously gave and cured my depression!

A bittersweet ray of sunshine caught in a yellow van filled with actors who have rarely been better.

It also has one of the best dance routines ever put to film.

There's a lot more to say about this film, but in the end it will always boil down to this:

Watch it, embrace it, love it.

And that I did.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

maybe if i watch this every day it'll be just like actually taking antidepressants

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if you don’t like this movie you’re absolutely wrong

You actually don’t have a heart if you don’t enjoy Little Miss Sunshine. Especially with that ending.

Wes Anderson, take note. Little Miss Sunshine is exactly how to do a quirky, fun, heartfelt, comedy-drama. Unlike Anderson's movies, Little Miss Sunshine has fully fleshed out characters that don't rely on quirks to make them unique, and there actually is a plot (!!!!!!). And when Little Miss Sunshine was done, I was left with the same feeling I should feel after finishing Wes Anderson's movies.

Little Miss Sunshine is about a struggling family in Albuquerque whose daughter, Olive, makes it to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach. So they all hop in the "patriarch's" vintage yellow VW bus and head toward Los Angeles. It's a road trip movie, a family drama, and a flat-out hilarious comedy.

I look forward to seeing it again.

wow people got offended by olive’s dancing but they’re fine with the other young kids wearing bikinis? what’s wrong with her dance?? if it’s cos it’s ‘crazy’, well let her do her own damn thing. if it’s cos it’s ‘provocative’, well you adults are perverts for viewing her in a sexualised manner. 

honestly beauty pageants are disgusting. who even comes up with such absurd and ridiculous standards for females? if people really wanted to see them in the same ‘perfect’ look, they might as well use robots to compete instead. we are humans, we look different from one another and that’s normal. no one’s perfect but we are all beautiful in our own way.

and these children talent contests omg. let them live while they’re young and stop forcing them to spend hours and days practicing if they don’t like it.

it's always with the goddamn fucking chicken!

Very original and entertaining watch from beginning to end. Not just that but one of the more natural and heartfelt screenplays I've seen. The story of a dysfunctional family who open the viewers eyes to the fact that even the smallest things in life count the most.

One of the best, most original and extremely poignant dysfunctional family movies ever. Still remains to be a classic! Every character gives so much to the film. They're all flawed, broken and tragic figures who don't get what they truly desire in the end. It's all about dissatisfaction, and the little things we should instead focus on that can bring a smile to our faces.

MY ALL TIME FAVE FILM OK BYE

This movie is the definition of quirky
