One of the funniest, touching films I've seen...

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2006)

I saw this movie at the LA Film Festival a few weeks ago, and boy was I surprised. This film is so beautifully put together. The writing was great, managing to bring all the senses and feelings together and make it work. There are parts that you laugh your butt off, parts that make you angry, and parts that make you cry... WHILE laughing. There are several scenes that have just never been done before, which is what made this movie so unique. While the dysfunctional family thing has been done many times, "Little Miss Sunshine" manages to give the story it's own gentle, yet abrasive spin. This is a nice glimpse into the many intriguing parts of people and society as a whole. I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes great films, not just blockbuster stuff. Go see it, and you won't be disappointed!
