Little Miss Sunshine

Little Miss Sunshine
Director:J. Dayton & V. Faris
Cert:15 Year: 2007 Length:103mins
Country:USA
Three generations of a messed-up family make their way in a clapped-out vehicle across America, hoping to find their share of the American Dream in California. If that sounds like the Joads travelling hopefully in The Grapes of Wrath, it's also the plot of an amusing comedy with brains too.

Critics

“...a refreshing and ultimately affirmative movie.”
