Day 23 - 28th January
Snacks Eaten - weird Yum yums that taste like hospitals
Film 23 - Little Miss Sunshine
Directed by Jonathon Dayton and Valerie Faris
Year - 2006
If you're looking for dysfunction, Little Miss Sunshine has the perfect family. A suicidal uncle and a heroin sniffing grandfather are just two of the Hoover family who, at late notice, have to drive to California so their daughter can compete in the Little Miss Sunshine pageant. Greg Kinnear's performance as a hapless life coach/father is subtly brilliant while Steve Carell shows his ability goes much deeper than his earlier comedy. Abigail Breslin however is outstanding as Olive, potential little miss sunshine herself.
This film is incredibly touching yet greatly humorous. All the cast have stellar comic timing accompanied by a real and endearing script. The most disturbing part of this film is the crazy ritual of child beauty pageants you are introduced to at the end. Then you see where the real family dysfunction is. A truly awesome film.
I could watch this film over and over. Super freaky. Right next film is Despicable Me. Connection?
Connection is Brick Tamland, sorry, Steve Carrell! Hey, I got one right. "I fly to the moon. I shrink the moon. I grab the moon. I sit on the toilet.."
