Emily Myers So often it's easy to say we care about others but it's another thing to actually show it. Abbey Curran was the first contestant to ever participate in the Miss USA pageant with a disability. Upon her journey Abbey soon felt the need to pass on her inspiration to others and created the "Miss You Can Do It" pageant. The pageant allows young women of all shapes, ages, and sizes the opportunity to feel beautiful and apart of something. It's a refreshing glimpse of how our world should be and allows a new perspective on how easy it is to take life for granted. This documentary follows the journey of 8 contestants entered in the pageant and connects the audience to their individually unique stories. To see the excitement these girls have alone to just be a part of the pageant is inspiring and you easily fall in love with each contestant. This documentary is a great watch for all.

hansoa Miss You can do it is a heart warming look at children with disabilities and Abby Curan's pageant making these unfortunate girls feel special. At first look it seems like it is going to be a story about Abby and her life over coming her disability and winning the Miss Iowa pageant, but Abby is a small blip in a larger much more focus look on these little girls and the disabilities they suffer. It shows you what they over come everyday to just try and live normal lives. This pageant Abby created really helps them feel that way. You find that each story is different and touching in it own special way and at the end it brought a tear to my eye. I recommend watching this movie, because it really puts life in perspective. I give it a 10/10 because it is simply beautiful documentary and very touching.

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.

stephunspoken After watching far too many episodes of "Toddlers and Tiaras" this documentary brought a welcome change and a refreshing view on beauty pageants. It was nice to see parents entering their daughters in a pageant out of a place of love rather than exploitation. This inspiring story told through the eyes of an amazing woman, Abbey Curran, brought a smile to my face for the entire 74 minutes.I enjoyed the looks into these children's lives – not only how they prepared for the pageant, but a look at their lives at home and the stories surrounding their conditions. This documentary was able to raise awareness about so many different conditions while also promoting inclusion of people with special needs.
