Belly Laughs Aplenty

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2006)

The other reviews were right on. I could not improve upon what has been said so will just do an observational review.
The cast fits and makes it work. Pulls you into their adventure. You feel their pain. Laugh at the genius of putting functional in dysfunctional. "Little Miss Sunshine" is the freshest comedy to come around in a long time (the last one I laughed this hard at was "Waking Up Ned Devine").
Was relieved that this film didn't rely on cheap shots (crotch & gas jokes. Not funny anymore Hollywood. Definitely not original!). It would have been a terrific all-family experience except for language. Lost revenue for sure. A number of people I have talked to won't go because the F word is spoken (maybe the DVD will come out with a censored version). A shame.
Sharing laughter with a theater audience was pure joy. Tears rained on my cheeks. Yes, it was that funny. I highly recommend it and have.
