I was able to catch Little Miss Sunshine last night, and I thought it was a fantastic movie. I really recommend it. It's really funny, well acted, well written, well directed, and well shot. It probably deserves a couple Oscars.

I personally am not a big fan of The Royal Tennenbaums, but I think LMS shares some similarities to it. A quirky family with some outrageous character traits, coping with hardships and coming together. LMS feels less absurd though... the characters are more real and easier to relate to.

Steve Carrell does a great job, too. And not just the comedic parts. This man is going places....

If you go see it, pay attention to the scene where Dwayne (the boy) runs out of the bus. This was my favorite scene of the movie... it used an amazing, kind of subtle camera shot, with Dwayne in the foreground and the rest of the family off in the distance. meh... if you like/pay attention to cinematography, I think you'll like it. The scene also provided some good insight into both Dwayne and Olive's characters.

All right, well, just go see it! It's good.
