Little Miss Sunshine  — 

I liked the way this film was made.  Each of the characters had personal flaws that doomed them, but collectively they pulled each other up.  I liked how Greg Kinnear's character had a plan and a strategy, but no vision.  Every tme I see an ad for a motivational speaker, I wonder how many others are out the that couldn't afford the marketing.

 I liked how Grandpa was given the task of helping Olive prepare her 'talent', yet no one bothered to check it or see it ahead of time.

The moment with Miss California gave Olive the touch of reality that she needed.  I wonder if anyone else recognized Miss California as the model that holds Case #8 on NBC's "Deal or No Deal".

 I liked the DVD and the director's comments gave great insights on why he shot the film the way he did.
