Little Miss Sunshine review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/11/11
An enjoyable dark comedy involving a hardworking mother Sheryl Hoover (Toni Collette), a scholar Frank (Steve Carell), an idealistic speaker Richard (Greg Kinnear), Dwayne (Paul Dano), a war veteran Edwin (Alan Arkin) and his grand daughter Olive (Abigail Breslin) who was qualified for a beauty contest. The cinematography was breath taking, performances were believable and screenplay was good. One of the best lines from Frank - "Anyway, he, uh, he gets down to the end of his life, and he looks back and decides that all those years he suffered, those were the best years of his life, 'cause they made him who he was. All those years he was happy? You know, total waste. Didn't learn a thing." Sheryl - ""We have to let Olive be Olive."
