I forgotten how i digging out the movie. Perhaps from the IMDB250 film.
http://imdb.com/title/tt0449059/

This movie have the ordinary directing but extraordinary scenes around the family members.

We got a 'Dad' strongly believed his 9 steps to be life-winner.

We got a 'grandpa' is a heroin addict & hardcore porno fan.

We got an 'Uncle' possess the highly-achievement in education life who suicide due to life breakdown in homo love.

We got a "kid" swear not to speak only after break into the flying academy. And he neva spoke a word for 9 months as a proof of his destination.

Lastly, the little fat tummy cute Gal got the wild dream to become Miss Sunshine of California.

(The mom got no outstanding characteristic in my view)

Sorta like Family movie, warmness, crazy(not over-react) & funny. Perhaps a "softcore" version for 'Magnolia' person. (I not sure it would suggested as family+kids material. It involved a little extreme content.)

It's unique & carry out a few surprises.

Not as close as American beauty. AB is too darkly, artsy & depressive.

This one got more sunshine & straightforward. The story twisted goes on & on & doesn't intend to bored audience.

Not really sure it can be release here. Well, Babel is more aggressive content, rite?

Ooh..i tot the beauty contest's music suppose to be Mc Hammer music?nope..

Weeks ago, i was listening to Sufjan Stevens. i fell in love wif one of the song immediately. It's called "Chicago" . It is featuring in this movie as music tunes.

Whenever i listen to Sufjan. It reminds me of this Little Miss Sunshine family.

i almost overlooked 24 action series "Chloe" as the backstage staff. My sis told me dat..haha.
The last stage of 'group' performance is a tease to all the kids contest happends on today.

kids are suppose to show off their innocent & nature side inside of them instead of make over and play like a mature lady.

This movie is dedicated to the misery little Miss who was homicided years ago, rite?

i dun think Little Miss Sunshine will be much enjoyable for second watching. We oredi know all the surprises.

The story appears right in front of u. Unless the first time u doesn't pay good attention.

Btw, anyone know this two movies which are quite extreme content -"Happiness" & "Bad Santa".

They are falling into this kind of Family wacko category. Guys should try on them. Quite rare to see such kind of suppose to be warmness tittle but deliver "f@@cked up" moment.

Will u get "second excitement" when u watch a movie when oredi know the next results?
First impression is always better than 2nd times... U r a movie fanatic. U knw what i am tryin to bring out the points.

Titanic is pretty good to watch once a while for its action wif romance.

Sixth sense, u will watch twice to study 'again' the Bruce Willis movement. It is not directive-type of movie.

btw, the examples u brought up is not falling in this type of movie category.

kobe,
Will u force urself to watch a film u dun like or couldn't cherish its effort?

The answer u will given will answer to the question of "WTF moment" dat u mentioned b4.

i was not stressing on shock factor. I am caring bout First Impression of a movie. Watching again is another matter.

Little Miss Sunshine movie is a simple movie. it's like magic, once u know the secret it doesn't satisfy ur curiosity anymore.

If re-watch for fun, why not? if re-watch to take back the First impression. I afraid it is not goin to work 100%. Unless u oredi forgot bout the movie.
