Let me tell you something...BJ Novak is such an underrated writer that I'll bet this is a huge hit

[@edwardmalinowski5901]

Depends on how he treats it. If it’s with love and respect, it’ll be good. If he just condescends and makes fun of southerners and right wingers, then it’ll be schlock. But Hollywood does reward schlock like “Little Miss Sunshine” if the film’s politics agree with theirs.

[@andrewelliott1592]

I went to see this with my parents and enjoyed it. It's got some darker themes and about 3/4 of the way into the movie is when the silliness goes away, but it's very intriguing and has just the right amount of hilarity. The grandma saying "you can't kill somebody with a .45 cause it'll be the breakdown of society" and then turning around and saying "you're gonna need a 12 gauge, couple of AR-15's, and a sidearm for safety" elicited a lot of laughs and applause in my theater

the movie has nothing to do with America; its built on extremely biased stereotypes having nothing to do with TEXAS; to be an extremely racist movie exaggerating culture stereotypes. As an attempt to explore morality it has none; and the character of Kutcher is a pure fabrication. It reminds me of Borat; let us remind ourselves that Tesla, Samsung, apple, indeed, amazon, and many others are in Texas, growing at 6% which doubles the infrastructure every 10 years; and all here because of what isn't right everywhere else.

I can attest to that. The film itself is exceptionally better than the trailer makes it out to be. In fact, it is truly one of my surprise gems of the year and that's a pretty good honor. Exceptionally well balanced with its mystery and natural comedy, and the 3rd act truly feels earned and shocking to see play out. Definitely check it if you can.
