      Юлія Романівна Ч Якщо ваша сім'я живе у постійному гомоні, з іншими членами родини і трьома собаками, вже другий рік поспіль ви не можете підібрати кольорову палітру для нового ремонту у ванній кімнаті, а на Пасху сваритеся навіть пошепки... Не турбуйся, до вас я не маю жодних питань. А якщо ж у вашій сім'ї панує суцільна злагода і не виникне жодної причини для конфлікту, навіть якщо ви п'ятнадцять годин простоїте у черзі на кордоні... Як ви це робите? Курси "Ідеальної сімейки" перед укладанням шлюбу? Навряд чи хто зможе дати відповідь на те, як стати зразковою сім'єю, адже кожен згадає про свої "родинні таргани", які живуть в антресолях чи на горищі. А ось побачити цілком природні сімейні клопоти ви можете у фільмі "Маленька міс Щастя". Це фільм про те, які ми різні але нерозлучні у родинних вузах. Не важливо: ти віриш у Бога чи молишся сатані, обожнюєш конкурси краси чи купуєш журнали з оголеними тілами, проводиш більшість часу вдома чи реалізовуєш свої бізнес-ідеї. Мені байдуже, якими кольорами ти сприймаєш цей світ, в кого закохуєшся і які у тебе вподобання в їжі, адже ми разом. Ти мій брат. Ти мій батько. Ти моя мати. А я твоя внучка. Ти завжди будеш поруч, адже я твоя сім'я. Твою любов я буду відчувати скрізь, де б ти не був: чи на землі, чи на небесах. Це легка історія, певною мірою вояж, яка крізь комедію та сльози покаже пригодницькі вихідні семирічної Оліві та її чудернацької сім'ї на жовтенькому автобусику VW (який, до речі, також зі своїми тарганами)). Перегляньте цей фільм, бажано зі своєю сім'єю, аби стати ще ближчими. Ви точно знайдете там персонажа, якого зрозумієте найчуткіше, адже вони — це ми, зі схожими клопотами та хвилюваннями. Сподіваюсь, у вас нема некрофобії...) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Teddy B The most deft and breathless mix of memorable comedy and gut-wrenching family drama I've ever seen. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Ezequiel B Hermosa película, el mensaje que tiene tan avanzado a la época y con casi 20 años de su realización, dignifica el cine. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Dani G An always charming and lovable film. Emotional, but very funny. Love it more every time I watch it again Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Rory M There's no line in this film that doesn't have a pay off its funny expertly woven and has great performances my one complaint is that there's lots of scecunses especially in the first half of the charecters just walking or not saying anything that go on for a scene or too too long but overall a enjoyable and well thought out film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Griffith J Incredibly well written blend of heavy topics & ridiculous humor. The ensemble cast presents each unique struggle with powerful emotion. Positive messages about beauty & purpose that will make you cry. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Namrata Joshi Outlook The best thing about American cinema is that besides the studio-assembled big ticket movies, there's also the flourishing indie film movement which keeps throwing up some delightfully refreshing movies. Rated: 3/4 Jan 24, 2019 Full Review Brian Tallerico UGO It doesn't exploit its characters for comedy or life lessons; it simply embraces the family members and lets them be themselves. Mar 24, 2007 Full Review Melissa Anderson Time Out All indie-movie families may start out unhappy in their own way, but by the time the final credits roll, everyone remains complacent, confident of their brood's superiority. Rated: 2/6 Feb 3, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a continuously engrossing endeavor that gets off to a memorable (and instantly-captivating) start... Rated: 4/4 Jul 3, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com The best film of 2006. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) The most unlikely (and effective) feelgood movie you might ever see. Rated: 4/5 Aug 11, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
