Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
nickpetruzzi Miss You Can Do It is an amazing and inspiring film. The film gives you insight into not only who the contestants are, but also the challenges they have to face and overcome everyday. Each story is unique and really each girl brings you in and it got a little emotional at times. You really feel inspired after watching this film. Through this amazing story telling and how each shot kept you in the moment this film is just simply amazing. Our society has put in us that if you see someone who is mentally or physically disabled we feel bad for them, but this film shows that these girls face this these challenges everyday and its how they overcome them. This film in my opinion is just truly inspirational!
brookecolor Miss You Can Do It is the epitome of why Abby won Miss Iowa in the first place. Creating such a genuine program truly demonstrates the heart she has for these girls, and this documentary shares that heart with the viewers. The film gives insight to not only who the contestants are, but what challenges they are facing as well. You become sucked into each girl's story and you can't help but smile at their unadulterated joy at being on that stage. Through compelling story telling and phenomenal structure, we really get a feel for why this pageant was created; to make sure special girls realize how special they truly are.
jtho115 "Miss You Can Do It," is and incredibly inspiring film that makes you take the time to really think about the lives of those that are physically or mentally disabled. On a day to day basis when a majority of people walk by a person with a disability we stare, or feel pity for them, while ultimately writing them off. This film shows that these are people with real feelings, desires, and ambitions.Here we follow Miss Abbey Curran who has Cerebral Palsey, and she had the determination to be her own person and be OK with who she is. She created the Miss You Can Do It pageant to help all these girls with disabilities feel the humanity they know they deserve, and to show that just because they are different, does not mean they are not beautiful. One of the main elements I took from this film was the personal lives of all the girls we follow throughout the film, and how their families have learned to live with their disabilities and accept them. Each family has struggled and some openly admit it scared them to death at first; however, having a disabled child has opened their eyes to how special their children truly are and how they love them no matter what.Miss You Can Do It truly helps one understand the lives of those we consider "different," and that just like all of us, they are people that feel just as deeply as we do.
K-R-Hallagan In this age of post-empirical popular culture, we tend to dismiss anything to do with stereotypically vain connotations, most obviously beauty pageants, and in the case of shows like 'Toddlers in Tiaras' we immediately denounce the practice as culturally damaging, and the people involved as ungrounded. 'Miss You Can Do It' not only presented me with selfless characters, but it shows us what child pageants should be. An environment for friendly competition, strengthening self esteems, and the realization that our personal problems should never be a limiting factor. These children push through adversity, and you can see them and their families shedding preconceptions of 'can' and 'can't'.A truly heart-warming story.
