| OK, I heard so many great things about this movie over the past couple of weeks, I was expecting another of those over-hyped, feel-good wannabe clever intellectual indie somewhat funny arrogant off-target american self-portait flick for our liberal elite (think "Crash", trying to be funny, and without $$$), but finally decided to give it a shot. Other than the illusionist - which was very entertaining but far from groundbreaking , not much else to see these days anyway.
Wow, did I get a slap in the face. I haven't laughed so hard in a long, long time. It was not just funny haha, the comic timing and editing were as close to perfect as I've ever seen. I mean, the ups and downs from really depressing to hilarious were so well orchestrated, I felt totally manipulated and loved it, begging for more. I thought it'd run out of gas after about 30 minutes, but it kept going all the way.
Simple, unpretentious, well written, well acted and hugely pleasurable movie. A classic. |

The only one here who hasn't seen it now is Todd. |

Yes, but if Todd does see it, it will probably only get 1 or 1 1/2 cookays because Jackass got 3. THREE for stupid fraternity tricks.

Well I can't fault him there, because I like Jackass as well. |

Yeah dude Little Miss Sunshine was a great movie- I loved it. And as to the Jackass commentary-- It's got it's own charm, so don't knock todd for giving it 3 cookays. But LMS deserves 4-41/2 easy. |
