When young Olive unexpectedly gets a slot in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant, her dysfunctional family piles into a vintage VW bus to cheer her on. All the buzz (that I skimmed anyway) coming out of the Sundance Film Festival in January was all about Little Miss Sunshine. By the Oscars in March, presenter Steve Carell was already being touted as a potential nominee for next year’s awards. Rave reviews are packed into this trailer. And best of all the movie looks like a funny, feel-good flick, and those are always my favorites. It times like that I’m glad I live in New York and I get to see these great films weeks ahead of middle America. See it, See it, See it.
I definitely want to see this!!!
I can definately see why there was so much hype about Sunshine at Sundance; it has a hilarious quirky yet sentimental script and lands great performances from the whole cast. I especially enjoyed Alan Arkin (the grandfather) who defintately stole a couple scenes. The ending is an instant classic and I can’t remember laughing so hard out loud in a while. Hopefully it gets some love by the Academy.
[…] I finally saw Little Miss Sunshine recently, and I am happy to report that all the rave reviews in the trailer are completely accurate. There were several points where Jared and I were literally laughing out loud. The trailer reveals just enough and doesn’t reveal any of the hilarious secrets of the movie. Little Miss Sunshine just opened nationwide, hurry up and see it. […]
