This movie is in my top 10 perfect movies. It has this je ne sai qua about it (hope i spelled that right i've been in french for 6 years). All the characters are amazing and each have such lovable personalities. The idea is so simple, a little girl wanting to be in a beauty pagent, and ironically just makes a mockery out of it! Just goes to show you how silly those things are. Her brother... just wow. (And oh if you don't know who Friedrich Nietzsche is, please, seriously, go read a book.) His intensity and motivation is astounding, I wish I felt that every day as strongly as he does. The parents you love and hate especially father dearest who just pushes and pushes. And mother trying to hold them all together, which she does a good job of in the end. Under appreciated a bit, in the shadows a little. But does a good job. She encourages her daughter and stands by her to the very end, the perfect mother. AND UNCLE!!!! Dark and sarcastic and complex. Dry sense of humor and deliciously intellectual. I love him. Grandpa lives life like every day could be his last, something my dad tells me to do. He knows how it is. He's got it down. Fuck authority and fuck the rules. Go grandpa. GO LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE!!!
