Little Mis Sunshine

I really enjoyed the movie Little Miss Sunshine. I thought each charater was funny in their own way. This movie was a good example of ensemble acting. No actor in the group was more important than the other. They all did their part to make the movie hilarious. At first, my favorite character was the grandpa. He was so out spoken and said whatever was on his mind no matter who was in the room. His lines kept me laughing throughout the whole movie. My favorite scene with the grandpa was when he was talking Duane. His charater became invisible once he died, but didn't lose his identity because they were constantly refering to him and mentioning how important he was to them still. I also enjoyed Duanes character. Even though he didn't have speaking parts through most of the film, he was able to adapt with his facials and reaction shots throught the movie. His character was still very believable. He looked the part of a rebelious teenager. My favorite scene with Duane was when he realized that he was color blind and wouldn't be able to fly. He showed such emotion just like a real teenager would when they realize their whole life plan comes to a halt. I had a hard time believing Franks character. I thought he should have looked more depressed after just attempting suicide. I thought he was a good back bone to the family though. Olive was believable because she had a hard time excepting her for who she is because of what her dad would say. After she had her talk with Miss California that changed her way of thinking and she no longer worried about that. The dad did a good job of portraying his character. He was a jerk of a father and husband and in the end he became real caring for his daughter at the pagent. He didn't want her to get hurt. The mother always wanted what was best for her daughter. She was very honest with her daughter and always wanted her to know the truth with Franks suicide attempt and the death of the grandpa. Overall this was a good movie that I never wanted to watch before by looking at the cover, but that just goes to show that you can never judge a book by its cover.
