It's been quite some time since we really laughed our heart out watching a movie. LMS turned out to be just the type of movie one can see at almost anytime - when you are happy, sad, angry. By the time the movie ends you will be happily laughing forgetting all your problems.
The movie is funny from the word go. It's filled with ironies as well. We have the dad who is a motivational guru who has found the 9 steps to success but is still struggling to meet ends meet, the mom who is overworked, the son who gives up talking till he attains his dream of becoming an air force pilot, the daughter who wants to be a beauty queen, the grandpa who smokes pot and the uncle who recently had a failed suicide attempt. It has some memorable dialogs such as "High school-those are your prime suffering years. You don't get better suffering than that." or "Oh my God, I'm getting pulled over. Everyone, just... pretend to be normal." & "Losers are people who are so afraid of not winning, they don't even try."
The plot is very simple. The girl gets selected to participate in a beauty pageant and the entire family (out of no other options) is forced to drive cross country for the pageant. The movie follows the events as they drive up to the pageant and how each person starts appreciating the value of each other. What hurdle are they going to come across next? Will they make it in time for the pageant? Will she perform properly? Will she win? These are the questions which float through our heads while we see the movie.
One of the must watch movies.
