Little Miss Sunshine
by Robb
Directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton, and writer Michael Arndt appeared on Fresh Air on February 5th, 2007 to discuss their film Little Miss Sunshine.
I really enjoyed this bittersweet film which could be an Oscar winner this month. Nominated for 4 Oscars, Best Writing, Original Screenplay, Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role and biggest of all Best Motion Picture of the Year. I think it’s down to this film or The Queen for best picture award.
The Library has in addition to its regular collection of copies of this film a number of copies of the movie that are rented by the week for only $1.00 on a first come basis. Each branch Library has a rental collection of extremely popular books and DVD's known as Zoom Lends.
It's an enjoyable film, serious yet quite funny at times. Although the movie is about a little girl’s quest to win a beauty contest the movie is rated R and not appropriate for children.
