Last night I watched Little Miss Sunshine on DVD and I thought I’d just make a little post to recommend it. It’s a really great comedy but I suspect not for all, if you like comedies like “Sideways” or “I Heart Huckabees” then this should be right up your street.
It’s about a fairly messed up dysfunctional family who go off on a road trip to take the daughter to a child beauty contest. The characters of the family are the real gel that hold the film together and make it funny. You have the father who is a failed self help guru, the uncle who has just tried and failed to commit suicide, the son who reads Nietzsche and has spent nine months in a vow of silence. Then there is the grandfather who is a foul mouthed drug addict. The mother and daughter are fairly normal, grounded people and this contrasts well with the rest of the family.
I won’t say too much more for fear of spoiling the film for you, I will say though that the last 15 minutes or so were the funniest thing I’d seen in a long time and I was nearly crying with laughter. A really great film, give it a try, in fact find the best price for it here:
