What can I say but I loved it! Little Miss Sunshine is a funny slice of life with a wonderful point of view.

this was a truly great movie! It was smart without being pretentious. Critical, without being holier than thou. And funny without being fake.
The rest of this comment is almost entirely spoilers.
I don't know if it was just me, but the way they had to continually push the VW to start it, every time!, seemed to me such a perfect metaphor (lit?) for life; sometimes 'getting going' is an uphill battle, and others it's exciting and even funny, but every stop becomes a big event.
The pageant was perfect. How better to expose the horror of judging little girls on superficial and 'way too adult values' than to have a pervert in the audience and a striptease performance!
And for all that, this 'moral' and the "loser" commentary weren't drilled into the audience, nor were they holier than thou in perspective.
It was a funny slice of life with a wonderful point of view.
