See this movie!!

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2006)

Movies like this truly warm the cynical soul -- the acting is great, the lead actress a gem, and four people I know, in addition to myself, said they laughed so hard they risked making a scene.
Otherr reviewers can tell you the general story far better than I can, but briefly: A family that is coming apart at the seams goes on a road trip to California so their daughter -- an sort of ungainly, bespectacled ducking who could possibly, someday, in some way, be a swan -- can take part in one of those grotesque, glittery child beauty pageants. But Little Miss Sunshine is about so much more -- family, finding a connection with the people we're bound to, perseverance, being true to ourselves and the people we love. I'll stop before I get too cheesy. This movie is 100% worth the time and money.
