Most Overrated Piece of Crap: Little Miss Sunshine
Every character was a ridiculous cliche.

Brooding teenager, wacky grandpa, precocious youngster, etc.

5. Only if you don't like dark comedy.
It's one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.

6. I enjoyed it. It wasn't the best movie ever, but I enjoyed it.
It gave the "oddball family" genre a few new twists.

7. but that was the point....
The whole point of the movie is mock those cliches. It is a film that pokes fun at the delusional way Americans see ourselves and our society. Those cliches were written with purpose.

I'm a writer of dark comedies myself. Love them.

9. I laughed my ass off at the end.
The visual of grandpa teaching her the moves was hilarious.

10. You are a bad person, and souless.
Whereas I am a person of impeccable taste, good heart, and strong opinions. I loved the movie.

We may just have to agree to disagree on this one, Satan.
