Fantastic road movie

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2007)

Fantastic road movie about a family getting their youngest daughter to a beauty contest. The amount and diversity of problems the family members have, hardly fits into one yellow van.
(Grandpa got kicked out nursery for substance abuse. Father's an unsuccessful guru on "How do you become a winner?" Son is suffering heavy puberty, daughter wants to become miss world and uncle got in just after a suicide attempt.
Although exaggerated and hilarious,some of the family-troubles might look familiar to you too. The simplicity overall and terrific cast make miss sunshine very charming.
The humor is original, brilliant and to my opinion not dark at all. Little miss sunshine rather is an optimistic movie that will make you leave with a big smile.
