Great Movie Despite Preview and Beginning

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2006)

Stay with this movie !!! A severely dysfunctional family subtly changes to a healthy one as movie progresses. Acting is superb by all -- it's very nice to see Alan Arkin once again. This is a morality play which is fun to watch. Preview of movie on TV is poor -- preview is depressing in mood and silly in content. This movie is a sleeper and one of the best of 2006. It portrays values in modern life in a satirical way but it does so in a very funny manner. This movie is well acted (I assume actors enjoyed making this film) with a very good script. It is well edited and directed as well. I would expect some academy awards coming from LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE.
