Little Miss Sunshine

Bob and I fianll got around to watching this movie last night!! I know, it's been out forever and we've had it forever, but we've never been able to sit down and watch it. I had heard the hype and known it was nominated and won some Oscars. I thought that I may like it, but really didn't know what it was about. I had seen the main actors in it numerous times in all the promos and everything, but that had been months ago! It started kinda slow, but not in a bad way. You see the characters seperately, with little explaination. That actaully really helped to set up the characters later in the story for me. SLOW until Grandpa starts talking for the first time, and you realize that this sweet little movie is not meant for young ears!!! For as much cursing that is in the movie, it really does work, and after the first spout of Grandpa, it doesn't seem as much. All in all, the movie is really good, especially in retrospect. It's this disfunctional family that makes it work for them and in the end, they don't seem as disfunctional because they are a solid family unit, in their own unique way. For those who have not seen it, I would highly recommend. It truely makes you think about family and what a family really should be, looking beyond the exterior.
