Funniest family movie in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2006)

Little Miss Sunshine was insanely funny. One of those off-the-wall, slice-of-life movies that was totally worth the ticket price, no regrets, for a change! Obviously low-budget, compared to the lavish sets and special effects of other movies of this current era, but that's one of the great things about this movie. (Reminds me a bit of The Breakfast Club in the 80s, in the midst of amazing productions, special effects, sets, etc., there was this little gem, one of the greatest slice-of-life movie, set only with high school kids in a school library the whole time.)
In Little Miss Sunshine, the direction, character development and plot are brilliant enough to keep you entertained. It pulls you in within the first few minutes, and in no time at all, you're careening through this dysfunctional family's wacky journey to get to an event on deadline.
We laughed very hard the entire way through the whole journey. Great family movie for mature 12-13 and up. Drug references and language, but all tolerable and within context (not gratuitous.)
This is one we'll buy and watch over and over again.
