An artistic comedy, is that possible?

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2006)

Funny and intelligent. One of the greatest movies released in a long time. Disregard the way the title and the plot sound. Blah, blah, blah, yet another silly family road trip movie... boring... If you think the title sounds ridiculous, then you can start to understand the humor of the movie. Little Miss Sunshine is intelligent, hilarious and touching all at the same time. The characters are genuine in every scene. This is not slapstick comedy. Nothing is jammed down your throat. It took a while for the people in the theater to warm up and realize the situations were supposed to be funny. Then by the end of the movie everyone was in tears from laughing so hard and applauded when the credits rolled. I had never seen such a thing and not been disgusted as people applauded for Star Wars or whatever other mind numbing blockbuster I happened to stay awake through. I am not going to review any of the plot or go into any details of the movie. I simply suggest you see the movie. Don't read any other reviews or learn anything further regarding Little Miss Sunshine. Just go see it and let it pleasantly catch you by surprise too.
