Having seen half of Little Miss Sunshine before, I was not particularly excited to watch it again. I turned it off half way last time due to the fact that I felt the movie wasn't a good story and just was pants. How wrong I was! Watching it again, I found the script funny, I found the acting heart-felt and the movie was an enjoyable experience.
Firstly, Alan Arkin is a wonderful actor. I am so glad he won the Oscar for best supporting actor as he truly deserved it. I wish my grandfather was a heroine sniffing, porn addicted rebel! Secondly, the jokes actually made me laugh, not in a "I am supposed to laugh here" kinda way, but in a "I actually found that humourous" kinda way, which surprised me.
I love Steve Carell and could watch him in almost anything, and he does not dissappoint as the countries former number one expert on Proust. I know this is going to sound bizarre, but this has actually made me want to read some Proust. After the film has finished you can not help but evaluate how close your own family is, and its a real revelation once you start to dig deep into what the relationship is.
In short I want a yellow VW camper van and I will write 8 out of 10 on the side, to show my admoration for such a tiny but significant movie. The next movie is La Femme Du Boulanger, a French film which took me ages to find, but once I did I ended up with two copies. Always a joy!
