Little Miss Sunshine

This movie is funny, but it is not for everyone. If you fall into these categories, you probably won't get the movie:

- If you have never been on a roadtrip, you might not laugh.
- If you never were, or don't know anyone who has been, a disaffected rebellious teenager, you might not chuckle.
- If your family has no dysfunction, or if you are unable to laugh at your family's dysfunction, you might think the movie is dark.
- If you don't see any humor in a gay porn mag called "Buns & Ammo" then you might just get grossed out.


Now that I think about it, in some ways LMS shares a lot with the Royal Tennembaums, although it is much more accessible than that movie. My mom & aunt took my grandmother to see Little Miss Sunshine. In the end, both these movies are about the strength and importance of family.

When you are family, you stick together just because.
