Another movie that I love is Little Miss Sunshine. This comedy came out in 2006 about a very dysfunctional family from Albuquerque. Their goal is to get the little girl, Olive, to win the Little Miss Sunshine Contest way off California. The family wants to make her dreams come true but they have so many issues that they cannot go a day without running into some kind of disaster. The mother brings her homosexual brother into the family from a psych ward for being suicidal. The dad is an unsuccessful motivational speaker that tries to use his nine steps to success plan. Olive’s brother, Dwayne, has taken a vow of silence as a follower of Nietzsche and acts distant from the family. The grandpa, was sent away from an elders’ institution and is addicted to heroin but determined to help Olive win. On their cross-country journey to California, they run into many problems which are all very comical. I enjoyed this movie because for me, it was nonstop laughter. The family fails to get along day after day and fights throughout the entire trip. Each character was fun and interesting in their own ways as we were exposed to their flaws and problems. In the end, they are still a family and love each other even though they go through struggles. I would definitely recommend Little Miss Sunshine because it always gives me a good laugh.
