Little Miss Sunshine - just released on DVD

Tweet

I spent another hard working night on smoothing lacquer finishes on guitar necks at my worktable, and needed something to watch/listen to as I worked. So off I went to my IO cable, and ordered what I thought was going to be a fantastic film. There were so many big stars in it, how could I go wrong? Oops. I did not want to watch the insane ramblings of a dysfunctional family, even if they are movie stars that I love and admire. Fortunately it did have a plot line, and it did move, though not as fast as I would have liked. The two saving graces of this movie were Alan Arkin and Steve Carrell. Arkin was his usual self, and Carrell was deeply interesting as the suicidal brother. I'm constantly amazed by Carrell - I think that he will go far in comedy. Well of course I've seen "The Office" and "40 Year Old Virgin" - which had me in absolute stitches. Yes, I know guys who are like that. You can't help it if you're a Trekkie or a Tolkienite. There a virgins everywhere, and they look and dress just like that! *cough* Anyway, I stayed with "Little Miss Sunshine"to the very end, and I found that it was not as funny as I might have guessed it to be. I felt let down. I felt blue. I didn't laugh enough. For my money - I didn't get what I was looking for. What did you think of it? Did you like it? Hate it? Tell us about it.
