Fun Fact: Creepy guy was actually a long suffering beauty queen Dad, not a random dude watching kids in swimsuits. I'll also add that I love that Olive is basically the glue for the family. Everything is going to hell, but her optimism and gentle spirit pulls everyone up when they need it most. I mean notice how she is the only one that Dwayne doesn't lash out at when he snaps and she's the one who gets him back to the van with a simple hug. Damnit, who's cutting onions. So glad you reacted to this movie because it doesn't get the attention it deserves. So well written, such great actors, so funny, so much love.

As many times as I've seen this movie, watching it along with you was even more enjoyable than the first time I saw it. By the time we got to Olive's dance in the talent competition, I was laughing so hard I was crying. Your reaction was really priceless! This movie made me realize long ago how much better independent films can be. Some of them are much more creative than the mainstream blockbuster movies, and they seem to attract such talented actors. RIP Alan Arkin. His Academy Award was so well deserved in a role that captured him on film for only 15 minutes. That's some great acting from him as well as the rest of the cast. Thanks again, Cassie, for bringing me to tears laughing so hard during a time when the news around the world gives us so little to even smile about. Happy Holidays!

Not sure if this was completely true, but apparently the dance was suppose to be more crude, with a pole involved, but the studio and creators thought that's going a bit too far so tried to keep the dance more "tamed".

Indeed a nice flick, for crying and laughing at the same time.... another gem is... "Captain Fantastic", a comedy-drama starring "Aragorn" Viggo Mortensen. Nietzsche was a German philosopher, essayist, and cultural critic. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. His philosophy is mainly referred to as “existentialism”, a famous twentieth century philosophy focusing on man's existential situation. In his works, Nietzsche questioned the basis of good and evil. He believed that heaven was an unreal place or “the world of ideas”. “God Is Dead, and We Have Killed Him.” One of Friedrich Nietzsche's most famous quotes concerns religion and the development of a secular society in Europe. “God is dead, and we have killed him,” is one of Friedrich Nietzsche's most provocative claims. Nietzsche's problem then was the same as that of the religion he despised: how to overcome this nihilism. How can one come to affirm life in the face of suffering and meaninglessness? Among philosophers, Friedrich Nietzsche is most often associated with nihilism. For Nietzsche, there is no objective order or structure in the world except what we give it. Penetrating the façades buttressing convictions, the nihilist discovers that all values are baseless and that reason is impotent.

And second, when he assures Olive’s fears of being a loser by pointing out she’s trying, which means she’s not a loser.

So many wonderful scenes in this movie that don't get enough attention. The family working together to help Olive ignore Richard, with Dwayne playfully teasing her to convince her to have the ice cream after her dad tries to manipulate her, and Dwayne shooting the straw wrapper at him. That is topped by Miss California confirming she loves ice cream to help her(and being one of the few who loves Olive's act). The grandfather telling Richard how he's proud of him taking a chance is a sweet scene. Loved Alan Arkin. Such an amazing actor and the perfect crotchety old man. And him giving Olive the pep talk when she's afraid her dad will hate her if she's a loser. RIP. Dwayne breaking down and then Olive just sitting and hugging him being enough to convince him to get up is sweet. He never said he hated her, he only yelled insults at the three adults(Divorc(mom), Bankrupt(dad), suicide(Uncle Frank). Fun fact: This movie was being filmed before "the Office"came out and Steve Carell was relatively unknown before then. But stuff went together so this movie came out AFTER "the Office"started, so it might have helped it some!

Everybody knows that Bryan Cranston was a familiar face on TV thanks to *Seinfeld* and *Malcolm in the Middle* . But Dean Norris turns up in the oddest places. I remember watching *Total Recall* a few years ago, and it suddently occurred to me that, under mountains of makeup, one of the Martian mutants was none other than the actor who would one day play Hank Schrader in *Breaking Bad* . Dean Norris also played the SWAT team leader at Cyberdyne HQ (who, with the rest of his men, gets shot in the leg by Ah-nold) in *Terminator 2: Judgment Day* .

You should watch Captain Fantastic (2016). It's an awesome family comedy drama quite similar to Little Miss Sunshine and I'm pretty sure you'll love it!

FYI, You can't get a pilot's license if you are color blind. On the right wing it is a green light and on the left is a red light. At night when it is pitch black, this will help you determine if a plane is heading at you or not. Also, if your radio is out, the tower can flash lights to give you visual signals.

Did you really ask, "Who is Nietztsche?" Friedrich Nietzsche is the father of modern analytical psychology and believed humans should focus upon self-realization above all else. I recommend his book Beyond Good and Evil. He hugely influenced Sigmund Freud although Freud went on to develop his own unique psychology theories based mostly upon sex and ego.

The power of film and music. This instantly took me back nearly twenty years to seeing this movie with a special lady, at a beautiful, old fashioned art house theater. This song that starts the film "Devotchka - Already Gone" is a hallmark of a very special time.

I know reading suggestions are in the comments are basically dime a dozen, but my two cents - Steve Carell is in The Way Way Back, another indie, coming of age film that's really great.

I love the realistic ending of the movie. They family grew closer and realized some important things, but not all of their problems were solved. Grandpa died. Olive lost the beauty pageant. Dwayne is color-blind and will have to figure out the rest of his life now. Frank is fresh off a suicide attempt, is effectively homeless, and depending on what kind of scene he made, will probably have a hard time getting another job in academics. And Richard is still bankrupt with no identified way to support his family. But they have just a little more hope now that maybe--POSSIBLY--they just might be okay somehow. It's so simple yet so beautiful.

Yes Cassie, academies and flight schools, especially for jets, will not accept you if you are color blind. I had my heart torn out also having always wanting to be a naval aviator and then I became extremely near sighted my sophomore year in high school and lasiks was not accepted yet for flight school. About had the same reaction.

Since Frank was written as a sarcastic character, Bill Murray was considered for the part. The film makers however wanted to cast an unknown actor at the time, so they casted Steve Carell for the role of Frank.

when you said "oh man, you know what goes on in these kid beauty pageants?" i lold cuz i knew what was coming. this movie did a great job in showing how weird and probably not good for little girls those pageants are. and strangely enough, it's grampa's routine that may have shoved their faces in it.
