Little Miss Sunshine

I wasn't sure what to think going into this movie. Was it going to be a poorly done, mediocre, or spectacular as an independent film? Good news, it's somewhere between mediocre and spectacular. Maybe the word is mediocular or spectaculicre. How about the word great and entertaining.

It's a bit eccentric and not the kind of humor most people attach themselves too, but if it fits your style, you'll love it. Subtle and intellectual, with a hint of social satire and great characters. Well written and directed in a style that adds to the quirkiness of the film, without taking away from it like most independent films try to do because the director tries to put his signature on the directing style. Extremely well acted, especially the part of Olive.

I would recommend this to people who enjoyed Rushmore, Lost in Translation, and Clockwatchers. I would not recommend this to people who liked Dumb and Dumber, Last Action Hero, or any Michael Bay film.
