Little Miss Sunshine

An Oscar nominee for Best Picture of the Year, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor and Actress (Alan Arkin and Abigail Breslin), in which a battling family comes together during a perilous road trip from Albuquerque to Los Angeles, trying to make it in time to enter the youngest child in a youth beauty pageant. Greg Kinnear is the dad, a failed motivational speaker, Toni Collette his skeptical wife, and Steve Carell a suicidal gay uncle. Directed by the husband-and-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

"Tucked in between all the hurt and the jokes, the character development and the across-the-board terrific performances is a surprisingly sharp look at contemporary America." (New York Times)

"A brainy blend of farce and heart, this is one of those movies that veteran moviegoers complain they don't make anymore.” (Hollywood Reporter)

“A raucously entertaining slice of slapstick dressed up as domestic satire.” (L.A. Weekly)
