Endearing, hilarious, painful, and rich. Do yourself a favor and see Little Miss Sunshine.
The film follows a disjointed American family, the Hoovers, on a road
trip filled with humorous mishaps, emotional revelations, and quirky
epiphanies.
The casting was masterfully done, each actor swelling with character and tactfully working together to create a family that appears outlandish yet familiar in the same moment. Little Miss Sunshine is complete, and will keep you engaged and empathetic for each of the characters. From the dejected ex-scholar Uncle Frank (Steve Carell) to the overwhelmingly charming miss sunshine-in-training, Olive (Abigail Breslin), there is a good chance that you will fall in love with at least one, if not all, of the Hoover family. The soundtrack, in addition, is also incredible.
I give this movie at least a 9/10. I'd give
it a 10/10, but I'd have to see it again to make sure. But
really, go see it. I think you would be missing out if you didn't.

I flagged this as offensive since sincere enthusiasm for things offends me.
That's why I gave it a 9/10! Besides, I'm a sincerely enthusiastic person. You know that!Do you tag me offensive? If you do, I'll have to explode more soup in your microwave.
Theatre worthy or wait for the dvd?
I'm pretty frugal but I'd definitely spend my money to go see this again. Not, however, because it needs the visual context of the theater to make the film happen. The movie is just really good. But patience is a virtue, dvd would probably be a mighty fine experience as well.
Yay! I can't wait to go now. I kept meaning to ask Vox-at-large if anyone had seen it yet. Maybe Sunday...
I second the endorsement-- the writing is quirky and surprising and bittersweet and the cast simply fantastic.
raf: Definitely theatre worthy. It's one of those movies that are mighty nice to watch with hundreds of others who are as captivated as yourself.
