Wow ! What an excellent film .

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2014)

When i first heard about this film i thought to myself "how come a comedy movie get nominated for the academy award for best picture and won the academy award for best original screenplay beating critically acclaimed film Pan's labyrinth ". Well i was mistaken. I saw the film and it blew me away. It's one of the best movies i have ever seen. Especially the acting by everyone ,breathtaking. Greg Kinnear as a father who is struggling to sell his program about the nine steps of success is wonderful. Toni Collete as the wife of Greg Kinnear who thinks family is more important than everything is simply awesome. Paul Dano as the elder son them has taken a vow of silence till he reaches his goal of becoming an pilot. Steve Carrell as the brother of Toni Collete who is a suicidal since someone he loved didn't reciprocate to his feelings. Abigail Breslin as the family's younger daughter who wants to be the next Miss America has won the entry to go to the Little miss sunshine competition and her grandpa who is played by Alan Arkin in his academy award for best supporting actor performance teaches her the moves for the competition. Everyone in this film acts perfectly starting as a dis functional family and getting together as they embark on the journey of entering their daughter in that competition facing many ridiculous obstacles is simply awesome. Steve Carrell though comedic at times tells us by his acting that he can do serious stuff too. He deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in the film. But the award went to Alan Arkin for his performance as Grandpa Edwin Hoover. I recommend this film to all. Please don't miss this film. It's one of a heck of a movie. I give the film a full 10 stars. You don't want to miss this film and you will regret it forever. Give it a try.
