Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2006)

When i first heard about this movie i was a little skeptical, It all seemed too unreasonable. From what i heard, every single terrible thing that could happen to this family happened and that seemed to much like a "are we there yet"/"Johnson family vacation" type movie. I also thought that the son who chose not to speak because of niche was a bit cliché. I couldn't have been more wrong. This move turned out to be one of the first movies i have watched in a long time and been fully entertained the whole time through. The cinematography in the movie is beautiful and the costumes that Olive wear are my favorite components of this film. Even though i thought, before seeing it, that Dwayne was going to be a terrible character, I came to realize that Paul Dano pulled this part off better than i could have ever imagined and became one of my favorite characters in the movie. Also, I have always been a huge fan of Steve Carell, so him being in it made "little miss sunshine" so much better than i could ever imagined.
