Little Miss Sunshine https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/16/Little_miss_sunshine_poster.jpg Dir: Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris Genre: Comedy, Drama Year: 2006 Little Miss Sunshine has a bizarre distinction of being one of my favorite movies ever while also having a grand total of one likeable character in the whole thing. The little girl is annoying and conceited, the mom is a dolt, the grandfather is selfish gross person, the brother is a tool, and the dad is probably the most unlikeable person ever (basically Greg Kinnear playing himself). Steve Carrell, however, is the only sensible one of the group--and anyone who can relate Proust to real life is pretty cool to me. So why do I love this movie? Well, all of these unlikeable characters come together and collectively make a relateable, loveable family. They are like the Power Rangers--bring them all together and they form a super being that is darkly hilarious and inspirational. And that's probably the point of it all. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ... Copied to Clipboard! |
