Heartwarming and Original Comedy.

Rating: Null/10 (7 October 2007)

Little Miss Sunshine is a wonderfully made film that is unique comical and sentimental to the viewer's heart.
Perhaps the greatest thing about the movie is its characters that are all developed into fully realistic dynamic people who by the end of the film you feel connected to and care about their eventual outcome. Both the script and the actors collaborate successfully from beginning to end, creating characters that will stay with you for some time, but more importantly will keep your eyes glued to the screen during the film itself.
The film's soundtrack is mostly well mixed into the film but there unfortunately were a few moments where it distracted from the film and didn't gel well with the action on screen. As a whole however, the film boasts a great soundtrack and suitably bright photography that brings the story to the senses nicely and with vivid effect.
If there is one problem I had with the film it was its central plot. Don't get me wrong, I loved each character's own subplots, but I felt the main feature -although well developed- was a little dry and needed a little more to it in order to bond together with the individual character's stories more successfully. On the other hand, the lack of plot did help bring out character's and allowed a good sense of pace consistent throughout, even if it was a little on the slow side.
Overall, Little Miss Sunshine is a great watch and certainly surprised me on many fronts. I can't say it met my expectations regarding all the praise it is has had from critics, but it was an enjoyable ride for what it was worth.
