Little Miss Sunshine And Her Family

So.

Nothing really.

What's coming up soon, is my 15 weird things.

Other than that, I've got absolutely nothing else to talk about. Except... Maybe...

This:

It is one of the most endearingly funny films I've seen. The phrase 'dysfunctional family' would've been invented for the Hoovers. A suicidal, gay uncle. A coke-snorting, sex-deprived grandfather, a Nietzsche-worshipping, pilot-wannabe son who has taken a vow of silence, a beauty pageant daughter, a winning-obsessed, hapless father, and the mother who tries to keep everyone together.

This film is brilliant. Funny, satirical and sad all at the same time, it pokes fun at a society obsessed with being 'winners' and highlights the importance of being yourself and being in a family. It attacks the artificiality of American society and the over-politically-correct norms and rules.

Buy it on DVD. You'll want to watch it over and over again.

Signing out

Over and out
