Well I saw Little Miss Sunshine last night and I'm proud to say that I felt nothing towards it...it was neither a bad nor a good movie. This is relieving since others seem to say this is one of those movies where you either hate or love it and I can't stand being in these sort of positions.

Although the film was not bad in any way, I guess I'm mildly disappointed that the family was not as dysfunctional as everyone claims them to be. No offense to fans but if this is considered dysfunctional then I don't know what to say. Because they weren't dysfunctional, at least to me, the whole conclusion didn't really leave me in a "warm fuzzy feeling" sort of state. Also, I felt kinda sad that it takes a movie such as this for people to realize *gasp* people are cruel and uncaring in this world. Some other comments I read from other places are acting as if this is the "go-to" film for all of life's lessons.

Anyways, like I said, this is not a bad movie...I laughed at a lot of the parts, some scenes were very charming (my favorite being the diner scene) and all the characters were very real, though I wished we could've seen more of Frank, my favorite character.
