Radio_Lady Movie Recommendation: "Little Miss Sunshine"

[Radio_Lady]

There are two films that both rate high marks this weekend. Please check your local listings as we have seen them in bigger cities (Victoria, B.C., Canada and Seattle, Washington).

"Little Miss Sunshine" is a whimsical summer gallop of a road trip -- with talented stars and an absolute wonderful script. Toni Collette and Greg Kinnear anchor the movie, with Alan Arkin in a funny turn as a potty-mouthed, druggie grandfather. Abigail Breslin and Paul Dano round out the family farce as this most dysfunctional group hops in their old VW bus and heads from Albuquerque, NM to Redondo Beach, California to give the cute little girl her chance to shine in the competition.

The movie won't appeal to everyone, and maybe men from 18 to 35 aren't the primary audience, but "Little Miss Sunshine" makes it refreshing to laugh this summer and that's what I did -- hubby, too! B-plus on Ellen's Entertainment Report Card for the best comedy of the summer -- and just in time for fall, too.
