have not expected to be so bad

Rating: 4/10 (28 January 2007)

I watched the movie yesterday and I was left completely disappointed. The only impression that I've got was that the movie is really cheap and full of holes. It reminds me some Russian comedies but it is just a silly attempt to reproduce them. For those who found the movie to be original I would recommend to watch a couple of Russian-Soviet classical comedies-you would definitely like them more than. Kin-Dza-Dza by Danelia is one of them. I think the main reason why The Little Miss Sunshine became so popular is that it is just different from typical sweet American comedies. It has a more "realistic content". However, it was hard to understand why the heroes of the movie had no idea what is the beauty competition and how a 15 years old guy could not know that he was colorblind. One must be completely stupid to not be aware of those things. However, the passengers of the van seem to be quite intellectual.
