Little Miss Sunshine (2006) - Full Reaction
Added 2023-11-18 18:17:46 +0000 UTCWell this was unexpected in every way! Olive was just amazing – Olive for president! The transformation of the family from the start of their journey to the end was so touching. Every character was spot on, especially the mom and Greg Kinnear’s character. It was hilariously sweet and just full of surprises! What a hidden gem.

Thanks for crying and laughing along with me! I needed this today. This was nominated for Best Picture... also Abigail Breslin as Olive was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. It won Best Actor for Alan Arkin (Grandpa) and Best Original Screenplay. Such a beautiful movie. I watch this when I'm fighting depression and it always helps. This is a movie about a REAL family. Dysfunctional, not perfect, but they love each other. If you like this movie I highly recommend "A Man Called Otto"... I would LOVE to watch that with you. Thanks for your work!

2024-01-14 05:21:27 +0000 UTCToni Collette is such an amazing actress! She’s incredible in dramatic roles. But Muriel’s Wedding is still my favorite performance of hers. Twenty-two years old and she was already a legend!

2023-11-26 06:58:08 +0000 UTCI've never seen this before. To tell the truth, I didn't think I would like it, but I was pleasantly surprised. Steve Carrel is always gold. And Toni Collette proved herself to me in The Sixth Sense and Hereditary. And your reaction always adds to the movie.

2023-11-22 13:10:12 +0000 UTCNew subscriber here, I've been watching your reactions on youtube and I just love them so I had to watch your full reactions. You give really great commentary and insight. I would love to see you react to other films that doesn't get as much attention that are very underrated. Like Split, Heart & Souls, Gifted, Penelope, Benny & Joon, Catch & Release just to name a few.

2023-11-22 09:28:39 +0000 UTCRight, they were perfectly fine with the other girls being air brushed and barely even wearing any clothes but were offended by Olive's innocent dance. Yes, Miss California's reaction was my favorite, she loved every minute of it. I also really like some of the other workers that were also liking it, like Kerby. And I crack up every time when that father out of nowhere goes crazy.

2023-11-20 18:59:23 +0000 UTCIf you like this, you would LOVE "The Way Way Back". also with Steve Carrel, Toni Collette, as well as Sam Rockwell, Allison Janney and Amanda Pete. So heart-warming.

2023-11-20 00:24:58 +0000 UTCBonnie, if Cassie is muted, then we should try and troubleshoot your set up. The movie is blurred, and muted after a few minutes(this is in order to help you sync your own copy of the movie to Cassies) -- with full length reaction videos, the movie does not play out for you to watch along, because that is illegal. That would be distribution of copyrighted material. If you need any help, you can find most of us on the discord server, and we can troubleshoot any issues you're having. Thanks for being here!

2023-11-19 23:51:14 +0000 UTCWhen I saw Cassie was going to react to 'Little Miss Sunshine', (one of my grown daughter's favorite guilty pleasures) well I thought one thing... This should be.. SOMETHING... But... with Cassie... it will end with TEARS of PURE JOY! This was FANTASTIC!

2023-11-19 17:36:24 +0000 UTCI have to say as well there's a lot more gems out there and that we've voted for on planners app. Unfortunately, with a lot of gems, they're not widely distributed and seen and tend not do do well in polls against "popular"movies.You've done a lot of votes on the top 100 movies in the planner app, hopefully we'll get a poll sometime in the new year to vote on some lower ranked (but absolute gems of) movies.

2023-11-19 13:04:32 +0000 UTCAlan Arkin won an Oscar for his role in this movie. His first Oscar nomination (for leading actor) was for his first movie role as an actor - "The Russians Are Coming The Russians Are Coming" ('67) - a cold war comedy poking fun at the cold war. It also features an actress Cassie found intriguing in "North By Northwest" - Eva Marie Saint, who won an Oscar for her her first movie role.

2023-11-19 04:51:02 +0000 UTC"Unexpected treat" pretty much sums up the best of indie movies. They don't fit the cookie-cutter mold established by mainstream Hollywood - which has become so predictable . Although one would undoubtedly run across some weird stuff among the indies now and then, you will always find these gems and discover the best of a filmmaker's creative process. I hope you continue to add independent films in your mix of movies. Expanding one's horizons is endlessly rewarding.

2023-11-19 03:53:50 +0000 UTCI’m looking forward to watching this with you in a few days. Interested to see what you make of some of it, lol. I agree it is a hidden gem. It was popular during award season, but I don’t think it as well known as it should be
Cole Jennett
2023-11-19 03:37:55 +0000 UTCHadn't seen this in a while and enjoy as much as the first time I saw it. Over time it probably doesn't get the love it deserves compare to other Oscar films, even though it was nominated for a Best Picture. Vale Alan Arkin, he won an Oscar for that performance, he great in this, but then again he was one of those actors that is pretty much great in most roles. Glad you loved Olive Cassie, Abigail Breslin was nominated for Oscar for that performance, it is a great performance, but especially someone of that age. I remember Alan Arkin copping heat for saying that she shouldn't win the Oscar, and they interpreted it as him not thinking she deserved it and had an issue with the performance. He thought she deserved it, he as just concerned around the negative impacts of that for someone that was 10 years old. I think the only other reaction for Toni Collette on the channel is the "The Sixth Sense", where she also a mother of special child. I think Cassie has seen "Knives Out" (I think she has referred to in reactions), again playing a mother. She is a great actor, and I wouldn't be a very patriotic Aussie if I didn't spruik her and "Muriel's Wedding" for a reaction, the movie that put her on the map for a lot of people. I think she is starting to be in the same category as Dianne Wiest, the perennial mother. Everyone is great in this movie, such a good movie. I think it is secretly a prequel to "Breaking Bad", with Bryan Cranston as the shady sales guy "Stan Grossman" and Dean Norris as the questionable policeman.

2023-11-19 02:14:02 +0000 UTCI had not seen that before, and I’m glad I watched it with Cassie watching because I wasn’t sure how to feel about some of that 😂. Different but good 👍🏽

Brian's Dog
2023-11-18 22:25:07 +0000 UTCWe could definitely do with more tragic/black comedies/satires on the channel. Some of my favorites: Dr. Strangelove (1964), The King of Comedy (1982), After Hours (1985), Brazil (1985), In Bruges (2008), The Banshees of Inisherin (2022). I could also include American Psycho (2000) in that but whether you'd see it that way is a big question!

2023-11-18 22:05:06 +0000 UTCOnly sun and not sunshine, but I really like HERE COMES THE SUN from The Beatles. This movie was a big hit in 2006, but I haven't watched it again since then. I was curious how Cassie would react to it, because I remembered it has some dark and uncomfortable scenes, but also some humorous and sweet ones. I'm glad she enjoyed it, and it turned out to be a great reaction. It seems she is more receptive to these weird and quirkier comedies instead of the mainstream ones. Staying with the sunshine theme, let me suggest another hidden and underappreciated gem in the sci-fi/thriller genre, SUNSHINE (2007), starring Chris Evans, Michelle Yeoh and Cillian Murphy among others.

2023-11-18 21:58:58 +0000 UTCNot sure what muted sounds you’re talking about. Clear as a bell to me. Maybe it’s a problem with your device?

2023-11-18 19:54:18 +0000 UTCYes! I was just a confused a little bit on why she couldn’t play or hear? Is it copyrighted?

Du-Wayne Rood
2023-11-18 19:13:22 +0000 UTCLittle Miss Sunshine won two Academy Awards, so I’m not sure it qualifies as a hidden gem. Haven’t watched the reaction yet. Did Cassie recognize that the actress that played Olive was also Little Rock in Zombieland?
Just Plain Bob
2023-11-18 19:03:16 +0000 UTCI love this movie! The satire is absolutely spot on!! How come, the movie posits, it's ok to treat little girls like future sex objects until someone innocent throws it in your face? Olive was just...dancing! But their twisted minds saw what they wanted to see. I love how Miss California jammed along while those who take a bunch of little kids prancing around WAY too seriously just lost their friggin minds! Plus, the entire cast just nails it and manages to give real depth to each one (not surprising, it's a talented cast).
Jessi
2023-11-18 18:38:51 +0000 UTCAnother under appreciated gem. Not for everyone but I loved it!
