True beauty versus manufactured beauty

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2006)

In reading the breakdown of votes for this movie of an average of 9.2 for young women 18 and under, from 80 voters it is understandable that this movie has a certain resonance for this age group. In the popular media we a bombarded with impossibly thin and impossibly over made up young women. A tour though a local high school or middle school illustrates how a few number of girls fit this profile.
The lead character in this movie competing for the "Little Miss Sunshine" title portrays a persistent beauty despite of the shortcomings of her family.
Do not read any further if you have not seen the movie...
My husband and I saw the movie on 8/17. The third act of the contest itself was quite chilling while watching all the fantastically made up little girls in the wake of the recent developments of the JonBennet Ramsey case. A beautiful movie with great acting and an important message for us all.
