The film stars Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Paul Dano, Abigail Breslin, and Alan Arkin, as members of a family taking the youngest to compete in a child beauty pageant.

Hi buddy, I must've watched at least 100 interviews with the cast after watching LMS, cuz I just fell in love with this movie. It's definitely in my top 3 of all time now! And I stumbled upon this incredible movie essay by MovieSketch, where he sums up perfectly, why the movie is so captivating..check it out, if you also can't get enough of LMS 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1dYe4vmKEo&ab_channel=MovieSketch
PS: thank you to everyone who recommended this movie to me! You made my life a whole lot brighter <3
For another amusingly unconventional and idiosyncratic (zany) film, you may want to consider "Raising Arizona" (1987). Directed by the Cohen Brothers and featuring Nicholas Cage and Holly Hunter. It has an IMBD rating of 7.3. Also, for future considerations you would do well to sample anything by the Cohen Brothers and their quirky take in films.

You have to watch "Dan In Real Life". It also stars Steve Carell and is an emotional family comedy-drama. It has a somewhat similar vibe to this with a close-knit family, humor and pathos. I think you'd really like it.
Paul Dano perfect as usual. Actually this whole cast is perfection.
The guy who is dressed like a veteran is there for his daughter because his wife drags him there constantly that's why he has his earphones in. He's trying to separate shelf from the event.
Just realized Walter and Hank in this movie. Also, Albuquerque. Lol.
This is my go to movie whenever I want to feel better
This is my comfort movie. It’s amazing
hola no se si entiendes el español pero me encanto tu forma de dsifrutar la pelicula muchos cariños y me diverti viendola contigo
I think it says a lot about you that you appreciated the goodness in the family at the start of the movie. My father was a narcissist and he hated this movie; he saw it as a disturbing portrayal of a sick and dysfunctional family. I see it as a story of a loving and supportive family that is all the better for being human. I think you can tell a lot about how kind and honest someone is by their reaction to this film.
I absolutely love this movie, me and my friends would quote this movie, mainly grandpa's lines lol
ASAC Hank Schrader gives the best cameo performance ever
Thanks for another great movie choice and great reaction. I love watching your videos because you show yourself and your real emotions, nothing feels fake or just for the camera. I guess you may have already watched in your own time, but if you haven't, please consider watching and reacting to Strange Things – such a great show and the recent season 4 deals with characters dealing with issues and it has a lot more depth than your average TV show. Either way, keep up the great videos!
This movie has so much heart! <3
I mean she’s trying to go into beauty pageants, she has to eat healthy
I remember seeing this as a pre-street when I worked at the video store! It's also what I reminded friends when I was asked if I knew who the actor portraying The Riddler in the new Batman movie was! Oh and if your interested in seeing the grandpa in something cool. He was in the 1967 thriller Wait Until Dark with with Audrey Hepburn. The guy has been alot of stuff. Argo, Glenngarry Glen Ross… tons of good stuff!
Tony Collette is an amazing actress. I recommend the movie Hereditary.
This is the first time I'm watching you, I'm definitely subscribing, you're so smart, I love to hear you
You should watch the Breakfast Club next.
I love this movie! It's probably my favorite of all time and I love introducing people to it!
In addition to everything you said, I'll also add that Uncle Frank was one of the first gay characters I've ever seen who wasn't a flamboyant stereotype, and also wound up being the audience surrogate in many ways, which was really impactful for me!
There is a deleted scene where they steal the trophy.
I saw this film in college it was 2015 and I love this film. Good social commentary on how disgusting pageants are(Mean Girls has social commentary too, but people are too dumb to think and talk about it. All they care about is "the iconic lines" "charismatic actors" that were too old to play a teenager and shouldn't have been in the film to begin with and yes I am including Rachel McAdams in that category. Despite her impeccable performance, she was 26 playing an underage minor. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CASTED IN THE FILM. There are other actors too that were in the twenties playing teens that shouldn't have been there. I do give a pass kinda to Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Seyfried who were 18 and 19 at the time. At least they were actually teenagers, same for Rajiv Surendra who was Kevin. He was 15 at the time.) I was in 3 pageants in my life, and even though my family and I never really took them seriously, it was something fun to do. I remember when I was 16 how other girls' mothers put alot of money into the pageant.. some stayed in hotels, rode in limousines, and wore way too makeup on the contestants(I did meet some of them and they were actually really cool, they weren't assholes). At the time I never understood why did those girls parents take pageants so seriously and vicariously live through their children like that. Seeing this film, answered some of those questions(while raising a few more on why do people think sexualizing kids is okay, I get the message Cuties tried to convey, but it didn't land. For one the fact that they gathered kids to twerk for them is fucked up, two the excessive closeups on the kids being sexualized in a film that's supposedly is trying to tell us that's bad is kind of hypocritical when their zooming on the kids being sexualized.). But that's not the case with this film, they don't glorify it, even Olive's family wanted to take her out of the pageant when they saw the other kids doing very gross dances like a stripper and people applauding it. My gag reflex was triggered several times. Love this film and I hate that it's not talked about enough. Beyond the Lights also gives commentary on celebrities' mental health, but it's very underrated and I don't see any reactors watching it. Same with A Girl Like Grace, it was shat on too much. I saw one person say they were lost by the flashbacks, so they were too stupid or weren't paying attention to understand the narrative. I like how the grandpa knew how disgusting pageants are and creepy pedophiles, like that host lurk on those kids, so Olive's dance was a middle finger to all pageants, not just in the film to society.
1:47– The dad was really unlikable in the beginning, he gets better later, but hated him in the beginning. Also his whole "if you don't fulfill your dreams your a loser" philosophy is what sparked that red pill horseshit.
2:42– Why do you think Frank was sad? He did attempt suicide. I did that too and was still depressed after. I was very numb and didn't do much, nor ate too much. That's exactly how a person who had attempted to end their life would act like.
5:25– I get why Dwayne hated his dad, I hated him when he first popped up on the screen.
7:07– The mom has issues too, but she does try.
12:14– And that's why the grandpa is my favorite character. Dwayne and Frank are a close second, Olive is adorable, so I love her too. The parents are in the bottom tier.
13:38– And that ladies and gentlemen is what causes eating disorders and insecurities. Thanks alot, dad.(Or mom, depending on your experience).
17:17– Did parents actually learn from Kevin's mother in Home Alone? No? Okay, then you wonder why we have so many Amber Alerts.
17:43– Damn, his dad was being heartfelt to his son and his son steps on him. Jesus.
19:29– Pageants can be racially bias too. I remember when I was 16 I was upset that I wasn't good enough to be a finalist, but then I was quickly reminded that I didn't sign up to win the pageant, it was meant to be fun at least for me.
20:35– Still sad how the grandpa overdosed.
23:32– I guess it's hard to actually pinpoint what exactly happens when our body dies, so where does our soul go? Do we reincarnate? Or go to heaven? Hell? Eternal nothingness in a parallel dimension? Can't say for sure. I hope to go to heaven, but reincarnation is an interesting theory too.
26:24– I feel for Dwayne here, because I wanted to pursue fashion design, and I was in school for it until I got anxiety and overwhelming of the assignments I panicked and couldn't go through with fashion anymore. I can relate with Dwayne here.
30:36– My new name for pageants is Where Pedophiles' Dream Come True.
31:22– That guy is a survivor due to the fact that his wife puts their daughter to be exploited and perved on by pedophiles.
31:41– I had that same reaction as Olive. Don't touch those kids, you monster!!!!!!!!!!!!
31:52– High school sucked ass, hated every minute of it.
33:56– I agree with Dwayne and the dad. They're right. This is not just a film, it's a message to all the mothers in the world who force their daughters to be exploited like that. Hell, Aaliyah's mother conditioned and groomed her to give away to a child molester. I'm not sure why pageants even exist in the first place. At first it was really misogynistic and outdated to traffick women so men could lure at them and then it switched to kids being sexualized. 🤢🤮
35:27– And the grandpa taught her that dance because he knew how these sick pageants have pedophiles that are disgusting around kids(The host man), so the grandpa was like,"Okay you want to sexualize kids well here you go. You'll understand why is gross." Because the audience were cheering for the other little girls who shook their hips and danced like a stripper and nobody batted an eye, grandpa wanted to show how disgusting it is for them to be creeps on kids(Adults too, but for this case it's disgusting that people think kids twerking is cute. It's not it's gross and I'm pissed at Miley Cyrus for kick starting that.)
35:51– Notice how repulsed they are at Olive's performance, but they didn't bat an eye at the other kids performance that were grosser than hers.
The tiny part, the guy canceling the book deal by the pool, that was Brian 'Breaking Bad' Cranston.
Walt from Breaking Bad, Hank from Breaking Bad and Marco from Better Call Saul are all in this movie.
