- Little Miss Sunshine definitely pulls through in the category of casting. Everyone fits their parts very well, particularly Greg Kinnear who is always easy to dislike for some reason.
- The majority of the film's pieces come together to make quite an enjoyable package. It's not a great movie, it's not a perfect movie, but it is a fun little ride with some nice messages.
- I could watch it with my Mom.
LOWS
- There are a couple of parts in Little Miss Sunshine that I really wish were tweaked because I feel they took the film to places it shouldn't have gone. I'm not saying that the film is ruined by these instances, but they certainly are too ridiculous to be accepted along with the total package. I can't really get into detail without giving away plot points, so ask me if you wish to discuss specifics. While I've touched on the subject, there are a number of glaring plot holes along the way as well. But in the end, these things didn't hang me up enough to not enjoy the film. It was able to bounce back each time and delivered a solid finish that left me feeling fullfilled with the experience. I just think it's a shame that a few script tweaks could have really made an overall better film that would have been more consistent in its delivery.
Torrey's Opinion:

Random related fact: Little Miss Sunshine took five years to make, mostly due to financial reasons.
