One of My Very Favourite Movies

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2011)

Little Miss Sunshine is just an amazing and original film.
It is about what it means to be a family, how things don't usually work out the way we might hope and how that can be exactly what brings people together. It's a Comedy Drama and is extremely funny. However it is also emotional, honest and deeply moving. The characters all seem very real and believable; the young actress Abigail Breslin who played Olive was particularly good and really made the character something special.
In places the humour seems quite dark and the tone bleak but ultimately the film is hopeful and uplifting.
