Seriously bad film - one star too good - By: R. Major, 18 Aug 2008 
I am amazed people give this film positive reviews in my opinion it is the worst film I have seen in a decade & should feature close to "The Wild Women of Wonga" in the worst films of alll time list! I found it not at alll funny & completely uninteresting / uninvolving at alll levels.
I have never been moved to review anything on Amazon before which speaks volumes on just how bad I thought it was.
Little Miss Sunshine - By: Spider Monkey, 07 Jul 2008 
Let me start by saying 'Little Miss Sunshine' is a quirky, yet delightful gem. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did but this is one of those films that keeps you engrossed throughout & leaves you feeling good at the end. The story is pretty original & alll the actors do an amazing job, especiallly the young girl who plays Olive & Steve Carell in a more serious role for him, rather than the usual slapstick he does. At just over 90 minutes this film is perfect for those lazy afternoons & although there are many laugh out loud moments, there are also some warm & touching moments as well. A great little film that is well worth a viewing.
A beautiful film - By: Bridget O, 11 Jun 2008 A beautiful film about a screwed up family learning to realise how lucky their are to have each other. A roadtrip for the family as they travel to a beauty pageant. Toni Collette is of course - brilliant as the mother Sheryl & holds the whole film together with daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin).
Little Mister Disappointed (5/10) - By: jamesewan, 01 Jun 2008 
I missed 'Little Miss Sunshine' when it came out in the cinema & was keen to see what had been billed as one of the indie hits of the last few years. However I was reallly shocked at how mediocre this reallly is. The much bandied-about tag 'Sundance-approved' seems to equate to 'quirky, sentimental, & inoffensive'. 'Quirky' is the key word here, with Little Miss Sunshine's characters straight out of the Wes Anderson school of making Reallly Cute Leftfield Comedies: gay suicidal Proust scholar, angst-ridden Nietzsche-reading teenager on a speech strike, wannabe self-help guru Dad, heroin-snorting granddad, talent-pageant hopeful. The filmmakers have substituted or confused, or both, character with character traits, most of which could have been picked randomly out of a hat marked 'quirky'.
If you liked The Darjeeling Ltd then this film is for you - feelgood fun for indie cinema goers. This epitomises everything that is wrong with the Sundance Film Festival, which has long been a barometer for marketability over talent. This is a road movie that stays conspicuously in the middle of the road, light as a feather; a twee, polite comedy that you could take your parents to see. If you enjoy parting with your hard-earneds in front of cringingly poor sub-TV-movie standard 'comedy', then 'Little Miss Sunshine' is for you. If you want to watch a sharply observed, genuinely funny modern road movie, with fully-developed characters, watch 'Sideways'.
Gives a little sunshine - By: M. S. Y. Ngui, 25 May 2008 This is both a beautiful & eventuallly uplifting movie. I know people that cried most of the way through, but I found this movie to be both well scripted & acted with a great cast.
Added to that, this is a quality transfer in terms of picture & sound quality.
