I just watched Little Miss Sunshine, about a little girl named Olive’s (image below) trip to the “Little Miss Sunshine” beauty pageant.

Her dysfunctional family includes her mother who’s often stressed up, her father who’s a failed motivational speaker, her gay uncle Frank, her silent brother Dwayne and her heroin-addict grandfather.

Her family travels to California to participate in the beauty pageant.

Unfortunately, their vehicle broke down and they all had to get down to push it.

There are down moments during the trip. The family stood by each other making it an enjoyable and touching film to watch.

Little Miss Sunshine has a simple and beautiful plot, good dialouges and acting. The film also won 2 Academy Awards – Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor for Alan Arkin. I think it deserves 4 out of 5 stars. It’s certainly a nice break from watching action films.
