ohinkssleep This was the first fully independent movie I had ever seen and has completely shaped the type of movies I watched. Just amazing

nikhilmanahs 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.

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.
