Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/27/25 Full Review Isadora S In this movie, a very dysfunctional family decides to come together and help their daughter, Olive, achieve her pageant dreams of Little Miss Sunshine. Each family member struggles with their difficulties. Olive’s uncle, Frank, who has recently shown his differences in struggles, attempts suicide. Throughout the movie, he accompanied the family and navigated the curveballs on their journey to the pageant. Frank is assumed to have Major Depressive Disorder. He started off having a serious heartbreak with a lover in his grad school, left him for his rival, and also lost his job, all leading to him feeling like a complete failure. Frank ends up attempting suicide, which highlights his suicidal and depressive isolation symptoms. But after failing his attempt, he is withdrawn from reality and struggles to engage with society, including his own family. Based on DSM-5 criteria, his depression symptoms accurately represent Major Depressive Disorder. Frank's constant state of feeling hopeless and lacking energy is a strong symptom of depression. His lack of interest in activities at some point he used to enjoy and a new sense of worthlessness. Some treatment for Frank’s depression in the movie was family support and seeking acceptance. His family brought him comfort and people to come to as he recovered from the disorder. The acceptance he found when he was starting to inch back to reality and socialize with normal people again, and start healing. In Little Miss Sunshine, Frank’s depression is portrayed as a comedic entertainment, but it does align with the DSM-5’s criteria of Depression, which means the movie's attempt to show this form of depression was stigmatized. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review judy b One of he funniest movies of all time! Am currently watching it for the third time. The plot is like no other I have ever seen. It is about the most unusual family situation ever. There are a lot of road trip movies, but nothing like this one. One of those if anything goes wrong, it will! Well cast and directed. Terrific happy ending. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review MAN B Currently the best movie I’ve ever seen Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Kevin P A surprisingly heavy and touching family drama. Everyone is so well realized with their deeply relatable character struggles and are performed so poignantly by the whole cast. It’s finally a family road trip movie that feels grounded and relatable, like it reminds me of the best and worst moments of my childhood family road trips. The struggles feel harsh and real, but the characters’’ growth and their little triumphs to be their best selves was so heartwarming by the end. Alan Arkin and Steve Carell are easily the highlights, but everyone has a moment to shine, and it all comes together so perfectly. Easily one of my new favorite movies about family.
