Excellent acting and script

Rating: Null/10 (30 December 2006)

This film is about a highly dysfunctional family's road trip to California in order for the youngest daughter to participate a beauty contest "Little Miss Sunshine".
This film is very special, because it entirely relies on the script and the acting to keep the viewers interested. There are no special effects, no grand set designs or extravagant costumes. Acting by the whole cast is excellent. The script shows one dysfunctional argument after another. The arguments are interesting and non-superficial. The events that happen are bizarre and comical, such as the car breaking down and subsequent pushes for the car to start, or the removal of a dead body. These comical events are presented seriously, so it creates an interesting contrast between the events and the prevailing mood of the film. This film is very memorable!
