Little Miss Sunshine

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.
