Little Miss Sunshine

[LilSooner]

One of the best movies that I have seen this year.

Hillarious. I highly suggest checking it out if you like to laugh.

[proud gonzo]

I REALLY want to see that one. :D

[bri]

I'd be cooler if there were snakes on the van. ;)

I want to see it, but it'll have to wait. It's a little too highbrow to fit in the Snakes On A Plane, Beerfest, Crank mode I'm in now. :D

[Howzit]

Saw it Saturday, and laughed my *** off. I've been waiting on it to come out for a while and was not disappointed.

I can do what I want!!! I still have nazi bullets in my head!!!

[yermom]

the cast looks good...

[JohnnyMack]

Funny. Worth seeing.

'I'm madly in love with you and it has nothing to do with your brains or your personality!'

Alan Arkin definitely got most of the great lines. The acting was good all around, but Steve Carell was especially impressive in a very subdued part.

And the pageant. Holy crap. Spectacular.

[MamaMia]

One of the best movies that I have seen this year.
Hillarious. I highly suggest checking it out if you like to laugh.It sounds really good. Is it showing just at the movies, or can you buy or rent it?

[LilSooner]

It just came out. As of last weekend it's only showing at Quail in the city.

[Norm In Norman]

OK, I've been wanting to see it because Steve Carell is in it, but this weekend I saw an interview with the directors and they just happened to direct some (if not all - they didn't give details) of the outpost.com commercials. Those commercials are my all time favorite commercials. I wish I had went out of my way to see it this past weekend.

And if you missed them...

[Czar Soonerov]

We saw it Saturday, it was really good.

[yermom]

Quail Springs? dang

[BigRedJed]

It was very good. However, the fact that the trailer uses a Flaming Lips song that appears nowhere in the movie soured me a little. I call that false advertising. I went to the movie just to hear the song, and no dice. I had to settle for merely a cute, well acted, quirky movie with a good screenplay.

[Czar Soonerov]

Little known fact about me: I have a huge crush on Toni Collette. I think she's totally hawt.

Oh, and I'd like to dedicate this to my grandpa, who taught me all of my moves.

[Newbomb Turk]

Note - GIS on "Toni Collette" have safesearch set to ON.

[OUAndy1807]

what a great movie. the wife and just watched it and now she's gone to bed and I threw The Last Waltz into the dvd player. two great movies tonight.

[setem]

Please don't kill yourself tonite!

[Norm In Norman]

I bought it. I like it a lot, but I was a little let down since everyone built it up so much.

[tbl]

It was one of those that I felt like I should like, but I didn't think it was funny at all. I mean it had its moments, but all in all it didn't do it for me.

So much for Indie street cred.

[leavingthezoo]

they showed this on the plane when i was flying back from Oklahoma over thanksgiving. the overall consensus on the plane was...

"That is the worst movie ever made."

someone shouted that out, and everyone else agreed.

maybe we were just tired from too much family interaction and turkey.

[colleyvillesooner]

Got it for christmas, but never had seen it.

just watched it.

Loved it. Dwayne was great.

Mom, don't let her do it! This is ****ed!

[StoopTroup]

When the kid found out about "you know" and freaked in the van...

I about lost it.

Not a great movie...but definitely a classic.

[12]

Listen to me, I got no reason to lie to you, don't make the same mistakes I made when I was young.

[TopDawg]

I loved it.

***POSSIBLE SPOILER***

One of my favorite lines was after they get the girl all signed up. The dad kinda breathes a sigh of relief and then asks the guy "So, you got any funeral homes around here?"

[Rhino]

When the kid found out about "you know" and freaked in the van...

I about lost it. Yep. Dano really sold that part.

[yermom]

i really liked Steve Carell in this, such a departure from his other stuff

[proud gonzo]

this movie officially ROCKS.

[Mjcpr]

I just thought it was a'ight, dawg.

I guess it's just me. :O

[KC//CRIMSON]

It was great right up until grandpa died.

[proud gonzo]

i disagree. :D

[Ike]

It feels kind of odd to say I loved a movie where the most intelligent character was a VW Bus....but I did.

[colleyvillesooner]

I've watched it 3 times now. Catch alot of little character things the 2nd a 3rd times around.

Is he like this all the time?

(Nods)

How can you stand it?

:D

[proud gonzo]

in the script he writes "I can't" on his notepad :D

there are a few awesome lines that are in the script and got cut out in the final product because they would have slowed down the pace

[colleyvillesooner]

Yeah, that would've taken away from the fact that he's a guest in their house, commenting on "how can you stand it", while the guy is still going on about the 9 steps. :D

[sooneron]

Solid film. It won best ensemble cast at the SAG awards. Nice screenplay.

[Mjcpr]

Not to mention the Sound Mixing. Oh, the Sound Mixing!!

[Howzit]

You know a key grip has done their job when they go unnoticed. Such is the case in LMS.

[JohnnyMack]

Grip this.


I got nuthin' really. It's early. I'm tired.

[sanantoniosooner]

I gotta side with the, "it's pretty good, but it doesn't knock my socks off" crowd.

Just watched it last night. It has some great scenes. But wall to wall it was just pretty good. I liked the mix, but it took a while for things to get rolling.

[Mjcpr]

You know a key grip has done their job when they go unnoticed. Such is the case in LMS.

Oh yeah. They gripped their *** off in that.

[sooneron]

You rubes don't even know what a Key Grip does.

[King Crimson]

soundtrack has Denver's very own Devotchka.

they are pretty good.

[Viking Kitten]

You rubes don't even know what a Key Grip does.

Poor Pat isn't even sure what they grip.

[proud gonzo]

You rubes don't even know what a Key Grip does.no, but Tom Wilson does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y

[Chuck Bao]

I was entertained for like three times during my December holiday flights. There are much better new movies out there, in my opinion. With that being said, I'd watch the thing again, particularly the beauty pagent scene, which just cracks me up.

[sooneron]

no, but Tom Wilson does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y
Well, he sorta knows. I guess he simplified for the rhyming stuff.

[sooneron]

Here's my take on the film for people that are ragging on it. It's one of those movies that is a pleasant surprise, so to speak. Although, you expect greatness from most of the cast. If you go into into it expecting a raucous film that's hilarious, you will be disappointed, there's too much subtext in the movie. It's sorta like Rushmore, IMO. Don't expect the funnest best movie evar and you will enjoy it greatly.

[yermom]

yeah, it's not Anchorman or anything :D

[sanantoniosooner]

Is it ragging on it to say it was pretty good but not awesome?

[sooneron]

nope

[Chuck Bao]

Wouldn't everyone pick up on the subtext immediately? Okay, I watched it three times in a row on an airplane, so maybe it was just a little too obvious for me.

As an alternative, I really like "The Big White" I saw on HBO yesterday. That got me laughing more. And, I was like wondering if the Giovanni Ribisi insurance claims character was actually based on Froze. Holly Hunter was sooo funny, anyway.

[KaiserSooner]

The acting was good all around, but Steve Carell was especially impressive in a very subdued part.

You give the general public too much credit.
