Leave No One Behind

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 2007)

Well, well, what have we got here. Another road trip film. I guess we can just pass it. Wait, what am I saying? This is an excellent film that did not get the attention it needed. Little Miss Sunshine is about a little girl named Olive who is in the finals of a beauty competition. Problem is, they are in New Mexico and the event is held in California. I wonder where this goes? The trailers from the film really just wanted to convince you this was a straight on comedy. Wrong. This movie has its very funny parts, but this is a touching film about a family spending time together. Abigail Breslin was amazing as Olive and should have won Best supporting Actress in the Oscars. Greg Kinnear, Steve Carrell, and Alan Arkin show some of their best performances yet. And come on, who doesn't want to drive that yellow bus? One of the best dance sequences in movie history are held in this film. Long story short, this is one of the best films of 2006. Watch and enjoy.
