Little Miss Sunshine - 4.5 stars

Go see Little Miss Sunshine! It's a clever, refreshing, and totally surprising heartfelt comedy. Only once does it take the obvious, easy out - which turns into something fresh. There are physical scenes in this movie that make the top comedy scenes I've ever seen. The cast is excellent with Toni Collette, Alan Arkin, Steve Carrell (playing a serious role), Greg Kinnear, plus 2 fabulous young newcomers.

This movie has been described as filled with eccentrics. I disagree. The cast of characters are real people with eccentricities that all of us have and sometimes expose.

It's a rare winner of a film.
