Little Miss Sunshine

I wasn’t expecting to love this movie, but I did. Truth is, I didn’t know much going in. In fact, I had Little Miss Sunshine mixed up with Hounddog for reasons I can’t figure out, and until I realized that, I didn’t want to watch it.

Not the same movie. This is quirky, dysfunctional family on roadtrip territory. And while a husband like that played by Greg Kinnear would drive me batty, I just loved watching Kinnear. His face is so expressive. I have seen him before in films like Nurse Betty and others, but I loved him here. I also enjoyed Toni Collette and Steve Carell.

By the way, the film is funny, has heart, but is also kind of crass and creepy, all in a way that makes sense. Quite well done.
