They pull together quite magnificently to make sure she gets to the show.
Perhaps you didn't see the film but wanted to make an empty political point.
Why would you think the gay guy the most stable? Perhaps you fell asleep during the opening credits and missed the film...
The"strip" in fact isn't a strip at all... you really haven't seen this film have you?
The dance she does lampoons the two-faced nature of the uptight morality that makes up little girls to look like pouting sex kittens but denies any such thing. In doing so it also accurately targets the (im)morality that wants "beauty" contestants to wear tiny bikinis but will dismiss them for showing a nipple in a photograph.
I guess you probably fall into that ludicrous camp yourself and thus score 8.5 on the BS-monitor.
Next time try watching a film before acting up.
Follow Ups:
You really nailed the issue about the "strip dance." And I totally agree with your point about dysfunctionality. There certainly were some damaged characters but they were hardly dysfunctional as a unit.
... the point was that a family can really be greater than the sum of its parts.
Perhaps a parable for humans in this time of wars.
A certain poster here seems to think my description was pretentious.
I thought it was straightforward.
Is this the greatest film I saw in the last year?
No.
But it was a very enjoyable film. A very funny film. And a film that comes back to mind later with little details and this, perhaps, parable.
What's pretensious is your slasher attacks when someone disagrees with you. Though assigning real moral weight to a contrived story about an absurd family of self-obsessives is close.
Are you sure that's what you meant to say?
Is there something about morality that only applies to certain people?
A couple of thousand years ago a guy who thought we should all be nice to each other got nailed to some wood for using ordinary people as examples of morality, didn't he?
I guess you are above such considerations as people who are experiencing problems.
Well, I hope your shiny thoughts fulfill you as it seems you have come adrift of reality.
Bet you smoked a pipe in high school. The act was indeed a strip act, and a raunchy one. By a nine-year old . That she didn't actually expose herself is no defense. Adults who accept such erotization of children, including child actors, are sick. That includes misguided "lampooning". Its child exploitation by adults under the guise of art, and those who defend it ought to be ashamed of themselves.

... then in my opinion you are blind, stupid or a paedophile.
Exactly parallel to having 20 year old girls in bikinis as decent but nudity as indecent.
Its hypercritical and repressed.
I see you found the routine "raunchy" so perhaps you have answered the question yourself.
... I was thinking of somewhere to dump your body.
Who needs this nonsense?
vicious too.
bleep
Not the child, but the moves her adult exploiters had her doing for the camera. I guess you thought her break-away costume was OK in that context too. The writer and director of LMS (and her parents) exploited the Breslin girl exactly as they were trying to ridicule in kiddie pageant nuts. And you've gone off the deep end defending it.
Please stop your attacks are too barbed and sharp witted for me...
Really I have no idea where your morality comes from but its little surprise you live in such a conservative area as SoCal.
