Cute and funny.

Rating: 9/10 (1 September 2006)

"Little Miss Sunshine" (2006), the new film by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris is a pleasure to watch. It's also one of the best films of the year (so far). The story revolves around a family getting their daughter Olive (whose about 10 years old) across country to California to star in a Little Miss Sunshine beauty pageant and in the process of this journey, come to learn about themselves and what life really means. This heartfelt and funny journey is highlighted by the acting (above par from ALL of the cast including Greg Kinnear as the father Richard and the "40 year old Virgin" Steve Carell as the brother in law Frank). And look out for their yellow VW van! A sight to see of a movie - a 9 out of 10!
