Perfect amounts of sad and happy

Rating: 10/10 (12 September 2006)

I saw Little Miss Sunshine not quite knowing what to expect -- was it supposed to be a comedy?? A sad movie? I didn't know what it was going to be like. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! This movie is a great family comedy-- it's got the perfect amounts of funny parts, sad parts, parts that make you feel incredibly lucky, and parts that make you realize how awesome your family really is. If you're a fan of Steve Carell, like I am, you'll love his part in this. He never fails to add comedy to a movie. Paul Dano's part, Dwayne, was definitely my favorite character, though. He did a great acting job, and his character added a lot to the story. The whole film displayed great acting... there was never a moment when I didn't believe what was going on or thought "That's stupid". Overall, I gave this movie 10/10 stars, and I suggest going out and seeing it in theatres. It isn't one you want to miss.
