This is why I love movies. After an extremely crappy day at work, I went to see Little Miss Sunshine, and for two hours I completely forgot what I was feeling crappy about. I don't think I've seen such a funny film about such depressing characters since About Schmidt. All of the characters were just about perfect, from Steve Carrell's gay suicidal Uncle Frank to Paul Dano's Nietchze-reading non-speaking angst-ridden Dwayne. I'm a big fan of Steve Carrell; for such a funny guy, I think he definitely has it in him to take on more dramatic roles. That said, he is REALLY funny when he runs! In fact, all of the actors were great - especially Abigail Breslin as the little girl Olive. It's a nice to see a road-trip movie that doesn't have horndog teens as the main characters for a change. So, if you're feeling like crap, this is a movie that is will make you feel crap-free for at least a couple of hours.
