Little Miss Sunshine is a classic

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2010)

Little Miss Sunshine is a brilliantly crafted film that goes outside of the box and mixes genres together to appeal to a variety of the viewer's emotions and create an enriching viewing experience. The sarcastic, witty humor of this movie is a change of pace from typical comedies which rely on sexual innuendos and slap-stick humor. Although the family portrayed in the film was portrayed as extremely dysfunctional, the characters were simply exaggerations of everyday Americans, which made it possible for viewers to relate to them, as opposed to characters in typical romantic comedies or fairy tales. Little Miss Sunshine was refreshingly different than most movies today. Along with representing the importance of family (in a very different and unique way), Little Miss Sunshine also reflected on America's obsession with materialism and beauty, and its impact on all generations.
