8.0/10

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2008)

Little Miss Sunshine was nothing but a moving, delightful funny satire, however this startling and irresistible comedy counts as one of the very best films of 2006. This film is praised as a 'feel-good' film, perhaps for moviegoers who like bamboo under their fingernails. If you are miserable, then Little Miss Sunshine is the film for you. You get this hilarious but moving satire about a dysfunctional family obsessed with their little daughter winning the beauty pageant The credit must go to the ensemble cast that includes Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, and Abigail Breslin and the incredible script by Michael Arndt, which first-time directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris handled perfectly.
