This lively musical take on the 2006 film satirising child beauty pageants is likable but lacks bite.
Little Miss Sunshine serves as a reminder of how remarkable its source material really is. Maybe not every remarkable thing needs to be turned into something else.
Yes, the iconic quotes are present as is the storyline, but in this version it is a relentless two-hour, clock-watching slog with the final scenes the only pay-off. Do yourself a favour and watch the movie instead.
This dark and quirky comedy is utterly joyous.
Little Miss Sunshine is a show that knows how to provide summer-time feel-good fun and still respect the intelligence of its audience.
