Little Miss Sunshine (2006) 8/10

Starring : Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Paul Dano, Alan Arkin, Abigail Breslin
Director : Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris
Running Time : 102 mins

A dysfunctional family try to take their youngest member to a beauty pageant in California but, as the trip progresses, more and more things get in their way to prevent them getting to the contest on time, including the van's gears getting stuck in third and their grandfather dying!

This film starts off as a typical family drama, giving us an insight into the various problems affecting the key family members but, as the film progresses, and the situations become increasingly silly, we are faced with a laugh-out-loud comedy which stops at nothing in it's attempts to make its audience laugh.
