A lesson about winning and losing

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2006)

Little Miss Sunshine has been frequently categorized as a dark comedy, and it is in the sense of the word. The movie is hilarious, and it's comedy derives from poking fun at its seemingly undesirable characters.
We a set of six characters who all are not going through the best times of their respective lives. We have a drug addict, a suicidal homosexual, a divorcée, a mute misanthropist, a helpless motivational speaker, and a little girl hoping to win a beauty pageant that she has no chance at winning.
Nothing "good" ever happens to these characters in the film, the father believes that there are only winners and losers, so according to his definition, they really are all losers. However, in the end, we get a feeling that they have won something- a better life and a lesson about winning and losing.
A very inspirational and overall hilarious film.
