So Perfect In Every Way

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2008)

I didn't know Americans could still produce such wonderfully perfect movies. It seems like so few movies that are made today are quality cinematic productions. "Little Miss Sunshine" is perhaps one of the best movies made in this misbegotten decade of horrendous remakes and CGI laden brainless filth. Seldom are movies cast so perfectly. All the lead actors are perfect in their roles, their performances are brilliant. Every production aspect of this movie is superb. The direction, editing, cinematography, script..... Everything!
As someone who has had to deal with more than my share of failures in life, I have found solstice and comfort in this film. As someone who has given up on mainstream America, I found hope in this film. As someone who was raised in a terribly dysfunctional family, I found understanding in this film. I think we could all learn something about ourselves from this movie. LMS dares to be honest and truthful about families and American society. Few films dare to look at life with such candidly honest eyes.
"Little Miss Sunshine" is a beautiful road movie that is guaranteed to at least teach you something about yourself, if not other people. I feel sorry for the com-mentors on this website that don't see the beauty and insight of this masterpiece. If you "just don't see what's so special about this movie", I hope your not in the film making business.
