Little Miss Sunshine
 
So... go see it. It's possibly not at a theater near you yet, but go see it.

It side-steps sap but completely osmoses itself into you. It's collection of people who, while they're completely flawed, are endearing enough to carry you through the movie. It's a family movie, a buddy flick, a road trip, a black comedy, a pro-"real"-people collection of complete delights. And if that's not enough, there's a stage performance at the end that made us laugh until we could not breathe.

Why are you still sitting here? What are you waiting for!?

I'm going to see this flick. It looks funny. Can't wait.

That girl is so cute!

Well it is currently only in 7 theaters and so most people probably need their own VW bus road trip to see it. I think it is supposed to begin rapid expansion weekend after next.

I've heard nothing but good things and it is high on my list.

Ditto.

I'll add my full endorsement as well.

As you may guess I'm not one who easily laughs out loud (I'm easily amused but I'm not a big laugher at movies) but twice this one had me doing it.

I can't guarantee you'll find it hilarious, but if you simply enjoy well crafted films you should get out and see it.

The directors (Jonathan Dayton and Valeris Faris) come from music videos, which is a mixed bag (how many great directors does it take to compensate for Bret Rattner and McG?) but this is as auspicious a start as Bottle Rocket was for Wes Anderson.

Also, the final payoff in Little Miss Sunshine is perfect on the crass surface level as well as the meaninful second layer. Perfection.

I finally saw this tonight. Flipping hillarious, amazing film that has made it onto the short list of must buy.

I loved the final scene. I laughed, I cried, I laughed until I cried.

Go see this movie!

If it kept my attention it will keep yours

Just got back from seeing it. Great stuff.

I also highly recomend it. F-ing hilarious!

CrazyLegs 09-06-2006 01:40 AM

I want to see that movie :)

Three months later, we have finally seen it. :) We now have a second-run one-dollar theater at the mall and we checked it out tonight. Awesome film! Steve Carell is incredible. In fact everyone in this is incredible. Yay!
