Truly Inspiring

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.

Little girls with physical and mental challenges having the time of their lives

This is an inspiring tale of young ladies who were born with challenges that many young girls do not have to endure.

It will put into perspective the problems that some people face and take those problems on with a smile.

It made me see that my problems were nothing compared to what these little girls are going through.

Miss you can do it was not all sparkle and happiness, it brought a bit of the reality of their lives which allowed the viewer to relate with the documentary.

My personal opinion on this documentary is that it was well done and inspiring.

Heart Warming

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.

This will touch your heart ...

Here we are, each with sound brain, intelligent mind, perfect whole body as nothing is missing .. and perhaps impregnated with ego, biases, jealousy... this film is a must watch.. . A story that will touch your heart, will make you cry ... at the end you will be indebted to all around you, grateful to almighty...

Miss You Can Do It

Honestly I didn't want to watch this documentary at first. I didn't want to have 'survival guilt' and have my heartstrings artificially pulled. I've seen many of these kinds of documentaries before but this one is different. Hope is the central character that floats on top of every scene, like an invisible shield in a Saturday superhero cartoon show. This film doesn't gloss over the truth but shed light on everyone else that is affected by a child's disability or two or three. "Miss You Can Do It" focuses on eight contestants preparing for a beauty pageant created by Abbey Curran, Miss Iowa USA 2008 and the first woman with a disability to compete at the Miss USA Pageant. My heart sinks when a parent say that they don't know how long their child will live and that this pageant celebrates her life and gives everyone HOPE.
