Little Miss Sunshine is a quirky comedy about a fractured family that is forced to go on a road trip so that the youngest member of the family can compete in a beauty peagent.
Be warned this movie is not a laugh out loud type of movie where the characters crack jokes or where hilarity ensues when things go over the top. Rather this movie makes you laugh because you see family problems and/or dysfunction show cased in a weirdly funny sort of way.
The beauty of this movie is that despite the outlandishness of it all, you can relate to all the characters on some level -- Every family has the know it all, the out cast, the scholar, the dreamer, the no holds bar elder, and the rockor glue that keeps it together. So this movie is more than anything just a highten show case of family dysfunction, the disappointments that life throws at us and how to be happy despite them.
I walked out of the theater with my face hurting from laughing so much. I haven't seen a movie that consistently funny, dysfunctional, clever and warm all at the same time in ages. You sit in the van with them. You're actually there with them. You know this family. You're probably part of this family.
There really isn't much else I can say other than the fact the pageant was more twisted and dysfunctional than the family could ever be.
Highly recommended.
