Little Miss Sunshine

Very very nice! Though this film of family dysfunction is flawed it does not matter because the cast is so great. Steve Carell, Toni Collete, Alan Arkin, Greg Kinnear, Abigail Breslin, and Paul Dano are a great ensemble. I loved watching them all work together and try to work through their vices, dreams and hangups. The humor and sadness are nicely balanced as they hit the road to support their youngest member. The ending was very funny though a bit too Napoleon Dynamite for me. I'm sure there are plenty of dance as redemption film moments I am overlooking but that's the most recent one in my memory.
Favorite moment: Grandpa comforting Olive as she expresses her fears about losing.
