i loved this! i cant belive the age thing though. i first saw this when i was 11, and i thught it was totally appropite. whoever revied this ovsliy has never been to a middle school
i dont really watch this movie much
but i suppose it the best acclaimed film in history.
however the grandfather is just a negative cacussion stereotype,
frank is a spoilt arabic like person who threatens to kill himself and pleasure himself to graphic sex.
the little girl is a sex god.
the teenage guy with black hair is a jerk
and the father is a person who cares only about getting to the pajent and winning.
but overall this movie counts better then that okay
movie based on beavis and butthead.
the environment however is hot and reminds me of the weather outside my house sometimes.
my final opinion is that this movie is the best in the world
and they should make a sequel.
even though it may not be appropriate for young kids
Liked it, but more in need of a PG-13 rating instead of an R one. This & Austin Powers should switch ratings. BTW, just saw it & it didn't kill me(look @ my age).
Nothing's A PROBLEM....maybe the sex discussion is a little crude but they'll find it out sometime! GREAT MOVIE! BEST INDIE MOVIE OF ALL TIME TIED WITH JUNO...HAHA
Amazing movie, but inappropriate for young tweens and teens.
This isn't "just another family road trip comedy", as I thought it would be--this was DARK, QUIRKY COMEDY at its best. The acting was brilliant, the characters were unusual and the ending was touching and unpredictable (it made me cry). The grandpa said a lot of things (f-words, etc) that were probably inappropriate for younger watchers, and he used drugs, but they ended up killing him, which is a positive anti-drug message. Overall a beautiful movie, but be careful about showing even the edited-for-TV version to kids.
See, it's a great movie funny. But a 9 year old shouldnt learn how 2 do drugs and slit wrists and even know that its ok to buy porn a 9 year old shouldn't see a 10 year old dancing like shes a hooker on stage in front of people. im 10 i thought it was inappropriate but i already knew about that stuff so i was not the slightest affected. Perfect to show kids whats bad and give them a life lesson (if you do drugs you die or get hurt,plus its illegal)
PERFECT comedy, very quirky indie film, some iffy content
This is a great movie, with a very good cast and a FANTASTIC plot.
It follows a dysfunctional family, The Hoovers, as they travel across America to get their 9 year old daughter Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant where she is due to perform. Hilarity ensues.
I know lots of people who thought this was a hokey American road trip/dysfunctional family film and didn't like it, but the hilarious, quirky humour and the great acting makes it stand out from the others as a proud and quirky independent film that should be recognized!
Yes, there is some non graphic discussion of sex, a character is gay, and characters buy porn magazines (one of which is for gay men.)The language is salty, there are quite a few f*cks and other less offensive language (sh*t, ass, etc), a character tries to commit suicide, a character is depressed, a character takes drugs and (SPOILERS) dies as a result of it, and a young girl performs a sexual dance at a beauty contest.
Although the characters are quirky, dysfunctional and troubled, the family overccomes their problems and in the end they realize that they can work together and have fun. It's a feel good film essentially, and the acting is great too! 5 stars and on for 12+
i am 13 and i saw little ms sunshine. im not going to give it a rating because it is totally up to the fam. i REALLY enjoyed it and have never laughed at a movie more but there are some scenes.....
grandpa is a very innapropriate charicter even though he is SUPER funny because the first scene you see him in is he is taking drugs. also he buys gay&stright pornographic magiZiens(mensioned a few times) and tells the 15 year old sun that he should **** a lot of women and then he goes into detail.........
also he teaches olive a strip-tees dance which she gets in big trouble four.
it is a very funny movie with about 29 uses of the Fword so i advise for 13+ but as i said earlier its up to the parent:))
the ever nerdy
J
i really liked this movie. though it said quite a few bad words.... like the "f" word, it was a very good movie. there was some drugs in it... but it showed what could happen to you if you use it. it shows us that we allways have our family... and that our life isn't allways perfect. it also shows that you cant win everything... but atleast give it a try. it does have some sexual content in it so i dont encourage this movie for anyone under the age of 10. other than that is is an awesome movie.
it has a great theme, a troubled family on a road trip and has a great ending. me and my sister both loved this film and think it should be a good family film. the grandad swears a lot and takes drugs, only shown once. 5 stars!
