Can’t wait for Bodies Bodies Bodies!

[@carolinalins]

I love that despite her dance, she’s the most child-like in the competition bc she was just having fun ❤

[@carladavis1473]

Even with the dance in a way. They were stripper moves don with su much innocence because she didn't know that anything was wrong. She didn't understand what the big deal was because she knows nothing about sex. Lol! So it was still so innocent.

[@cloudsn]

Watching this again years later, I can see how they purposefully did this. Olive's performance was no more inappropriate than the other girls' yet it wasn't "okay" because it didn't conform with the standard.

[@NaeOnYT]

It's SO GOOD. I mean, you have these actual children in tiny bikinis with tons of makeup, strutting with their hips out, etc., but it's Olive's goofy dance that upsets everyone. And her interaction with Miss California is so cute.

[@romanzolanski6256]

I loved that Abigail Breslin (the little girl who played Olive) was nominated for an Oscar for this role. She is really the heart of the movie.

[@RatchetFanGirl27]

And then she grew up to be toxic 😂

[@tche2844]

@Jessie Rosalina shut up. Love your non-toxic male actors

Fun fact: Steve Carrell and his character won this film the GLAAD LGBTQ Media Award for Outstanding Film the year after Brokeback Mountain. It was so rare to have a gay supporting character (or a Steve Carrell character for that matter) taken 100% seriously as a person and not made into a joke that this film whose plot has almost nothing to do with sexuality still became an LGBTQ classic.

[@rwwwwwvt]

wow i didn't knew that that's so cool

[@handlemchandleton3255]

I just remembered this film and ngl i think his character being a gay man and played conpletely serious is something that adds to the overall theme of this film which is to just be yourself

[@the_nikster1]

Grandpa straight-up taught Olive a stripper dance and it turned out to be the greatest beauty pageant performance of all time. Olive killed it!

[@syra1541]

i remember it was crazy to watch for the first time, but made complete sense for his character lmfao

[@tmcmurdo826]

It’s the perfect statement about how child beauty pageants sexualize little girls.

[@laurakali6522]

Paul Dano is a gem in everything he does. And this movie is perfection.

[@gilly_axolotl]

Love him

Re: the lack of suicide talk, that is what happens in real life. If someone tries to unalive themselves, when they return to the family/society, it is a seriously taboo topic except in support groups or in therapy. That they talked about it at all was because Olive asked about "the accident." If the adults had led the conversation, it would have been hidden forever. It's a tender topic, but one that should be talked about - with the person's permission, of course.

[@BlackCampariBlue]

100% agree! It's a pity that people don't talk about it, as it's totally fine to be uncomfortable with a highly emotional and sensitive topic like that - but avoiding it won't help or might make things even harder for the person who made the attempt, as disclosure is an important part in working through mental problems and the shame surrounding it. Also, as a psychotherapist in training: It's fine to ask people you have a hunch with or who you know are depressed straight out whether they have suicidal thoughts. Often, they will answer honestly and won't feel worth for you asking (if you do it in a sensitive and caring way). They might even be glad that someone looks out for them and cares, and chances are that they will feel more comfortable reaching out whenever shit does hit the fan. Warning signs for suicidal ideations might be: - person who was behaving very depressed for a time all of a sudden is unexplainably cheery (as many feel relief when they decide to take their own lifes) - person starts wrapping things up, such as finding a new owner for his/her dog, canceling contracts, ... - it's especially alerting when someone talks about concrete suicidal plans, e.g. how or when the person wants to do it. Someone mentioning suicide should be taken seriously in every situation though and this should be followed up with the appropriate support and/or actions Please look out for each other

[@ShannonQT85]

I saw this movie when it came out in theaters and let me tell you...the audience was laughing soooo hard and we were all dying during Olive's dance at the end. Completely unexpected and everyone was just losing it laughing.

[@user-wo3yd5ke4s]

I watched this when it came out with my sister and my grandpa and grandma and everyone loved it and was laughing. Such a unique gem of a movie, great performances

[@8loves188]

yes, same experience here, i watched it opening weekend in limited release and audience was nearly crying of laughter the entire ending sequence. I went again a few weeks later with my family when it was released wide, and same exact experience, laughter throughout but the dance number had crowd losing it!!! i still haven't experienced that much laughter in theater since, maybe Bridesmaids

[@rwwwwwvt]

same experience when i saw it for the first time with all my friends 😭

[@ashlynnhunt5214]

One underrated moment in an already underrated movie is when the doctor tells the family the grandpa had died and Frank comforts Sheryl. He sees her and the rest of the family grieving, which probably gave him something to reflect on after his suicide attempt

[@oOscarymvsbOo]

Love the reaction to the al la mode scene it was so sweet of them to support her. The sibling relationship between Dwayne and Olive is too sweet. Your guy's investment in the performance scene was killer. Fuck beauty contests.

[@AJ-sd5bj]

Underrated moment but I love how the actual Miss California judge loved olive and her family performing, showed that the people being through that pageant life probably appreciate the kids having fun in this world so much more than most judges for it.

[@allyin15]

37:05 You know something’s funny when Bryce has to turn away to laugh 😂 Best comedic line of the movie 😂 So glad you guys finally watched this, it’s one of those films that shouldn’t be able to be funny, sad, irreverent and wholesome all at the same time, but it absolutely is. One of my all-time favourites.

[@alisong826]

"dad's trying to give a 6y an eating d/o" my heart melted b/c y'all get it! Y'all're great guys! I am hoping to be in a healthier financial place soon and can't wait to be able to show love via patreon :)

[@kokijavier]

This is one of the most original stories ever produced in Hollywood. I love this movie.

[@BoxOKittens]

Who knew watching a small child perform a risque dance to a sex song could be so wholesome and cute

[@Charlie_Wolfe]

34:03 it’s implied he IS a dad of one of the girls that’s why he’s been to apt of these shows, not a random creeper

[@tyler5550]

abigail breslin’s (olive) oscar nom was so well deserved for this movie

[@RobertMorgan]

Every time I watch this movie, I try to imagine how pissed off I'd be hearing my brother-in-law tell my niece "Well, your uncle *gave up on himself* and that's why he's a loser." as just a matter-of-fact statement right in front of me.

[@boboca20]

Come on everyone, leave a thumbs up for these great guys and their reaction videos, let's make sure they know how much we appreciate the effort and the fact that they make our days so much better!

As much of a jerk Richard started off as, his redemption and character arc was great. And the fact that he never gave up on getting Olive to the venue was admirable

My dad had a friend in high school who couldn’t be a pilot because he discovered he was colorblind too. Apparently no one had ever said anything about him wearing red and green together because they figured he just really liked Christmas or something lol

I watched this movie when the pandemic first started and I was in a relly bad slump, it brought me some happiness 🚌🍦

[@marslara]

That's how I feel about Walter Mitty, for w/e reason that lifts my mood like nothing else. It reminds me of Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium, just a very feel good film 😅

[@zina2435]

it’s so funny. i grew up watching this film and my viewing experience as a kid felt exactly the same as my viewing experience as an adult does 😭 the thing i remember my mom saying to me most when we watched this movie is “look at how cute she is” (about olive). turns out, that is the focus of the movie. lots of other shit happens. but none of it taints olive’s innocence (which sets the tone of the movie). watching as an adult still has that vibe of “things going over your head” when ur a child also i live very close to the building where they “held the little miss sunshine competition” in this movie :)) love seeing it when we drive southbound on the freeway lol

[@justlive2809]

this movie is a big part of my childhood it's a comfort movie to me not an easy watch but at the end you just feeling good

[@lesliemonster92]

Love you guys for doing this, one of my favorite movies of all time, just an unexpected delight that absolutely floors me each time. The moment dad starts dancing then the family joining in is just peak cinema for me

[@7_ty_]

Toni Collette and Steve Carell are actually in another very good movie together called The Way Way Back where they play a couple.

“He’s in the trunk of our car” makes me laugh every time lol and I’ve seen this movie soooo many times.

[@NoalaPropaganda]

​@@deadsetondreams1988 it's really good but really hard to watch, I don't know if I'd like to watch someone's reaction to it. Maybe that's why it hasn't won 🤔

Zuff on acting: "It's crazy how they can just do two different things." 😂 Never change boys! Thanks for the reaction, I love this little ragged family who come through for each other even when things in their lives are falling apart.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

The Way, Way Back with Steve Carrell, Toni Collette, Sam Rockwell and others is an amazing coming-of-age movie if you ever want to look into it. Edit: I really like how the van is a character in this movie as well.

[@evelynne2846]

Actually Alan Arkin (Grandpa) died less than a month ago, June 29, 2023, at age 89. Another great movie Greg Kinear is in is Ghost Town (2008). It's a very funny comedy and Greg plays a big supporting role to Ricky Gervais. Love this movie.

[@carladavis1473]

You thought Frank wasn't sad? Really??? You talked about how little he said... that is part of depression. He was Cleary sad in the movie. And you can be depressed and be functional. Most times people don't even know their love ones are depressed either way, he was clearly sad.

[@SCAP3I2]

Another Carell gem, that I so wish more would discover, is 'Dan in Real Life'. If you want Carell as a main character, and with the humour of 'Crazy, Stupid, Love'? Then watch him as Dan. It's one of those movies one never skips over if it pops up on the TV.

[@taneshah.1260]

I really liked "Dan in Real Life". And I just rewatched "Crazy, Stupid, Love" a few days ago.

[@SCAP3I2]

@@taneshah.1260 Yay, so happy someone else likes it! So many funny and sweet moments in "Dan in Real Life". But not funny ha-ha just to score some comedic points, but funny as in it can really happen to anyone. Like the shower scene, or the dance off (can't listen to Nasty Girl now w/o thinking of Carell dancing 😂). But can we also talk about the way Steve Carell totally breaks your heart when he sings? His acting is sooo good in DiRL, and the chemistry between the cast. Simply love it!

I don't know what sort of weird coincidence it is but I was searching a lot of your past videos two days ago to find if you reacted to Little Miss Sunshine because I've had a rough couple of days and wanted to see some of my favourite reactors react to one of my favourite comfort/feel-good movies. This made my day.

This was the last movie I watched with my dad. He loved it and it was his favourite movie. But me being a 9 years old at the time, I didn't enjoy it much because I couldn't understand it. Now being 21, it is by far my favourite movie, whenever I play it I always feel like my dad is sitting next to me on the sofa.

[@cripplermaximus]

About 25 years ago I had a 1971 VW Squareback that had that same short in the electrical horn circuit. One time i went over a speed bump in front of the mall and it started honking and squealing just as three cholos were crossing in front of me… lol. I’m just shaking my head, apologizing, and pointing at the wheel like an idiot. Hahaha.

“Like Chanel” I cannot with y’all 😂😂❤

[@misterkite]

I had a car once where something broke inside the steering wheel and every time you turned the wheel, the horn would honk. So I just pulled the fuses for the horn and the airbag. I wish they would've thought to pull the fuse for the horn in this movie, takes 2 seconds.

[@KateB813]

This is one of my favorite movies ever. Saw it in the theater and was crying laughing at the horn honking scene.

[@_mermaidguts]

I learned much later after watching it the first time that the crew put Abigail in a semi fat suit so she appeared to be chubbier. Watching it after that, I felt stupid for not noticing it before. But, obviously, it was to point out that it's okay to have a different body shape. Or how fucked up child beauty pageants are because of the diet restrictions/fitness routines the kids have.

Frederick Nietzsche is a German philosopher from the 19th century. My philosophy professor (Who also loves this movie) used to refer to him as the father of existentialism. So Dwayne takes a vow of silence inspired by Nietzsche’s theory of übermensch, A Person Who seeks to evolve to a higher, more powerful, and better Version of themselves so they create their own moral codes and rules which they consistently Live by. Fun fact the Nazi party took this theory and created a racial version which became a philosophical foundation for the parties ideas.
