Little Miss Sunshine was released in 2006 and it’s directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. It’s starred by Abigail Breslin (Olive), Toni Collette (mom, Sheryl), Greg Kinnear (dad, Richard), Steve Carell (Olive’s uncle, Frank), Paul Dano (Olive’s big brother, Dwayne) and Alan Arkin (drug addict grandpa,Edwin ).  Film has won two Oscars and it’s a comedy.

The film tells about little Olive, who wants to win Little Miss Sunshine – beauty contest and Olive’s strange family. Family takes 800-mile road trip to this contest. Journey brings family more closer together even it’s a really hard trip for everyone. The plot is really funny but it also provokes thoughts. Film includes some black humor which makes spectator laugh but it’s also extreamly touching and could bring some tears on eyes. The story is so warm and absorbing that it never gets boring.

All of the characters are brilliant! Abigail Breslin (Olive) is so sympathetic little girl that you can only smile. My personal favourite is Alan Arkin (grandpa) foul-mouthed grumpy old man. I think it’s a bit shame that he dies at film. (Because he uses too much drugs) Also Toni Collette (mom) plays incredibly well tired overworked mom’s role. Overall i think that all of the actors have really succeed.

I think that the film’s soundtrack suits perfectly for atmosphere. Songs does emphasize the happy or sad mood well and the film becomes even more touching. Also camera work is great and brings the spectator closer to the characters.

I don’t actually have anything bad to say about Little Miss Sunshine. It’s a beautiful story about unlucky family and how everything after all goes fine. I really do recommend this for everyone who loves funny stories with unexpected plot twists.
