Review: Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine, a film about the adventures of a family in a comedy-drama setting. It was a debut film of a husband-wife team Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. It was also recognized and awarded as one of the best films.

The movie tells more on the family’s adventure while on their way to join a beauty contest, Little Miss Sunshine. It focuses more on how prioritize and give time more on family.

It was a very good film in terms of film grammar, technicality, and script. I would still remember the line of Richard, the father of Olive, “It’s not about luck, Frank. Luck is the name losers give to their own failings. It’s about wanting to win”                                             ,

it was striking yet disturbing, striking in the sense that it promotes hard work and determination and disturbing in a sense it gives a statement that luck is purely uncertain.

            The story was well constructed and on how they tell the story was well diverse and the viewers will anticipate it easily. The events of the movie were well told through the cause and effect course of the movie.

            The movie was full of adventures, ups and downs, sadness and joy. The part when Richard, the father, realizes he must do the right thing was most of the interesting part. It escalated the quickly and changes the story fast, ending it with a interesting end.

            The characterization of different characters was well played by the characters and the whole story was amazingly told.
