Little Miss Sunshine is a movie about a very dysfunctional family who wants to take their daughter 900 miles away to a beauty contest.
There really is a Little Miss Sunshine contest. I know this because my niece has won the one around here. Several times.
Anyway, this movie won two Oscars in 2006. Which is way better than winning a beauty contest, I bet.
The movie was billed as a comedy but I did not find it funny. I considered it a drama. It was rather engaging and I enjoyed watching Steve Carrell (sp?) in something other than a stupid movie such as 40-year old Virgin. He is a pretty good actor when he isn't sticking something up his nose or whatever.
3 stars
I thought this movie was depressing yet hopeful. Disturbingly, I got a sick laugh out of the dead body scene. Geez. Heheheh.
ReplyDeleteI have since learned that it's actually Little Miss Sunburst that my niece is involved with, not Little Miss Sunshine. Oops.
