[bigtimecow]

[FartinMowler]

I thought it was the best picture last year.

[sadie]

every time i go to rent this, it's all out. >:

[bigtimecow]

well, CHECK MORE OFTEN OR SOMETHING

because it's superduper

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I hated it. Really, really, really hated it. I hated the pot-bellied mildly retarded child star, I hated the silent kid, I hated the pedo grandfather. Highly over-rated.

Little Miss Sunshine was the first DVD movie I bought since I found Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure in a bargain bin in 2003.

The dead grandpa thing was really dumb, but I liked it a lot, on the whole.

j. phillips when are these t-shirts going to be available on you website

[GADZOOKS]

This movie was fantastic. But I have to agree that I didn't like the dead grandpa thing because that's something a faggot like Clark Griswald would do (and he did).

Chevy Chase sucks and so do his fans.

[DuFresne]

In terms of tone and mood, it was one of the most original films I've seen in a long time. Not so much for plot though. It's a dry version of Vacation, like Gadzooks said.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Wow. I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. The movie was filled with one dimensional character cards and tired cliches. Not only that, its fucking creepy and sad.

[Jixby Phillips]

I just thought it was fun, man, I had fun

whats wrong with fun

don't you like fun?

[bigtimecow]

yeah fun!

[Grislygus]

Not only that, its fucking creepy and sad.

I thought that was the awesome part.

Tithouse has a different kind of humor :\

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Who the fuck is Tithouse?

Meh, you is all crazy. Sheep, a bunch of sheep I tells ya.

Anyway, I didn't care for the pedophilic undertones. I've worked with far too many kids messed up by that sort of thing.

[Dire Flamingo]

Okay. Penaud if you were forced to watch Everything is Illuminated, Little Miss Sunshine, or death, which would you pick?
You could go for Everything is Illuminated. It had the dude from Gogol Bordello in it.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

I would watch death.
I haven't seen Everything is Illuminated.
I just really don't get the mass appeal of Little Miss.
Regardless, just a single opinion anyway and I'm just surprised the folks on this forum support the general opinion.

[DuFresne]

Sometimes the general opinion is the right one.

[Black Flag]

j you seem particularly apt to not getting things

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

WaHuh?

[GADZOOKS]

It's a movie, not an ideology, jesus christ.

But if you like, we will all hate this movie if you ask REALLY nicely.

[Jixby Phillips]

I know plenty of smart respectable folks who love this movie and just as many equally smart, respectable folks who hate it

huh what are we gonna do! lets watch something else maybe we can all agree on how does home alone sound

[DuFresne]

Like this: *smack* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ArrowX]

I liked this movie. Mainly because it reminds me of my own family.

[ScruU2wice]

Wow. I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. The movie was filled with one dimensional character cards and tired cliches. Not only that, its fucking creepy and sad.

I think we've all been battered by the overused "Homosexual English Scholar who's suicidal pecimism contrasts the obnoxiously optimistic and goal oriented brother in law" Character far too much.

The creepiness of the beauty pagents was completely intentional, because they are freak shows. When you called the girl pot bellied you hit the nail on the head because the whole point was that she was suppose to be the complete antithesis to the typical beauty pageant plastic doll that were in the competition.

I think it's completely respectable to not like this movie, because of the moderately unearned ending and the choppy character development, but it's hard to go along side with not liking it just because it's popular.

[BlueOatmeal]

I saw the movie and I liked just about everything the grandpa said. When he died I was pretty sad.

But after I finished watching the movie I really couldn't figure out what the point of the story was. If there was some moral or something it totally went over my head. Maybe I'm dumb or maybe the movie sucked. I don't know

Oh yeah, Buns and Ammo was funny.

[Geggy]

Saw this movie last night. Damn hilarious. I'm still laughing today about the porno mag and the cop part when kinnear was pissed off at carroll about the guy nudie mag. Also kinnear said something along the line of, "Let me regain my conscious first."

Overall, def a fun movie.
