Directed by Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris, rated R, 101 minutes
Little Miss Sunshine is a smart and highly funny indie comedy about a family that takes a cross-country road trip in a VW bus to get their young daughter to a beauty pageant. The incredible cast, including Abigail Breslin, Alan Arkin, Steve Carell, Paul Dano and Greg Kinnear, has great chemistry and seem like a real dysfunctional family. The writing is brilliant, mixing dark humor,with some drama to make a laugh out loud dramedy. Little Miss Sunshine most importantly is a lot of fun to watch, and the end is both hilarious and heartwarming. You'll like it if: You like movies about dysfunctional families, indie comedies, Steve Carell, Juno or Thank You for Smoking.
I just watched this one again. Excellent performances by all.
