Little Miss Sunshine
#14 in my 2007 movie challenge was Little Miss Sunshine, which I rationalized buying at Target because:
1. I wanted to see it before the Oscars
2. It was on sale for $16.99, which is
3. Lots cheaper than two tickets, popcorn, candy, a drink, and a babysitter
It was funny and bittersweet, and owed at least a little to National Lampoon’s Family Vacation. The performances were strong all around. It brought back memories of my youth, when my family got in a van and drove hither and yon, inspiring adolescent horror of being stuck with “these people”.
