I believe that's an important part of the message of the movie, it is about the way this kind of contest rewards a girl for acting like an adult, dressing like an adult, make up like an adult, whereas they really look aritificial, and it kind of ridiculize this.
I believe the message, for parents, and even for kids is that they shouldn't empower that influence, and try to keep the kids living a real kid's life.
Besides all of the other ideas they manage, as the father being a looser eventougth all the efort he realize, or the son who is really as any teenager, dificult to understand but discovering the world through his new persperctive.
I enjoy the movie a lot.

I saw it. Yes, unfortunately that's really how the pagents are. It's very disturbing to see. When did little girls stop being children and started being sex symbols. Anyone remember the Jon Benet story. I wonder if her killer saw her in a pageant and stalked her from that point on. I would never put my child in a beauty pagent. I have been a judge at a beauty pageant before. It was sponsored by the YMCA and it did not involve make up or sexy costumes at all. It was just young boys and girls as themselves. The most disturbing thing was some of the parents you really turned me off. They kept pushing the judges to see how adorable their child was and kept having their child pose and act a certain way. That's the first and last time I've ever judged or been to a pageant. I thought the movie was great, and Abigail was fantastic in it. Yes, I believe the director did a good job portraying the pageants.

I think that was probably the intent and it was reflecting the reality. I watched the movie and I did find the whole contest disturbing. It's sad that kids are evaluating like that. Like her grandpa said, real beauty is inside.

While the focus of the film was the dysfuntional family, "Little Miss Sunshine" was also satirizing child pagents. I found it a very funny film, and Alan Arkin's Oscar was very well deserved.

It was weird, and totally surprising; when she gives her music to the director and the director acted surprised, I thought it would be a very sweet, touching song picked by her grandpa. What a surprise when she started dancing!
The movie was fabulous, I thought.

I saw that movie twice, LOVED IT. Child Beauty contests are evil in my opinion. Children shouldn't look like sexy adults. This messes with their minds and their perception of beauty in the future.

Yes, very. I think that was the intent.
Fantastic movie, by the way. One of, if not THE, best film I've seen Alan Arkin and Greg Kinnear in.

yeah, I even watched it twice in case its one of those movies that you just don't like the first time but will like after that...its not....its extremely overrated. what is it? a comedy? a drama? a family movie? it does a little in each of these categories but it doesn't do it well. seems more of an identity crisis than a best picture nominee to me

Yes it was.The movie was an indictment of the whole child beauty pageant culture,and its pornification of little girls.
