The perfect movie to watch the day the groundhog saw his shadow

Austrlian humor in an American movie… brilliantly funny and no “Hollywood ending”. Gotta love it.

A quirky story about what family really means. That would be why so many people just don’t get it.

My favorite line is when the teenager, having a meltdown, screams, “I hate you all! Look at you! Losers! Divorced, bankrupt, suicide!” And it was true. By all external standards, losers. Huge scars and mistakes. They are dealing with everything we all deal with. Failure, pornography, addiction, rejection, ambition, finances, aging, everything. But in the end, they are all winners and a family, a loving family, not just a collection of selfish individuals.

Yep, I loved this film. Great story, outstanding acting, terrific morality tale.

So to me it was about how off these little miss pageants are; the contestants (other than Olive) were grotesque, yet it was Olive who showed the thing up for what it was, admittedly unknowingly.

I loved the way the family came together at the end joining Olive on stage. And that her brother wanted to protect her. (Loved the character of this brother who had taken a vow of silence and read Nietzsche.) And the grandfather, was sorry to see him go.

Ok I thought this was going to be a cute story about a little girl on her way to a beauty pageant but instead turned into a twisted show about a preteen stripper. I hated it and it made me sick.

Yaaaaa….I didn’t like it that much…:S

This is a brilliant film… So so funny!!!

Utterly charming, completely human, with a wealth of stellar performances. It didn’t blow me away the way I expected it to after hearing about it for so long, bu tit was still great!

I loved it! will have to add it to the collection. I thought the acotrs were excellent in their roles and the little girl stole my heart :) she was so quirky i couldnt help but like her. . . GREAT MOVIE! a must see for anyone.

See it for the laughs. I watched this on a portable DVD player with headphones and my girlfriend (who was engrossed in the new Harry Potter book at the time) said I laughed out loud all the way through it. Alan Arkin alone will have you in stitches. Great, good fun!
