Little Miss Sunshine —
From the opening scene, this movie pulls the viewer in. Incredibly quirky characters feature: Dad, a professional failure who aspires to be a motivational speaker (and is a *failed* motivational speaker), older teen brother, who has taken a vow of silence per the philosopher Nitche, gay uncle, who comes to live with the family after a failed suicide attempt, grandpa, who comes to live with the family after he is thrown out of his nursing home for heroin abuse, mom, who's somewhat at her end and trying to keep them all together - and Olive, the heroine, a homely little girl who's desire is to win a beauty pageant.These characters are not architypes, so much as they reflect bits and pieces of people in society. Their humanity and the deep character-driven script is the glue of this movie, which keeps the plot moving as the characters overcome one foil after another.
If you're interested in seeing a movie you've never seen before - and laughing the entire time - you will love this movie.
